The world's largest cyanotype is so big, it took more than 100 people to create – but the hardest part is still ahead

A behind-the-scenes photo from creating what could be the world's largest cyanotype in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A photograph so large it took up most of an entire bridge could break a world record for the world’s largest cyanotype. Created by a group of artists and nearly 100 volunteers in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the cyanotype stretches more than 430 feet long.

Bobby Philips (@improvgnosis), filmmaker and director of Yeah Media, and Meg Roach (@adventuretextiles), cyanotype and fabric artist and Owner of Adventure Textiles, together with nearly 100 community volunteers, took over the Blue Bridge, a pedestrian bridge in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on the summer solstice and set out around 430 feet of pre-treated, light-sensitive fabric.
