All my pictures are Solargraphs - a long exposure photography that captures the Sun’s path across the sky.
I explore the interplay between:
• The analog and the digital
• The static and the movable
• Nature and the human-made
• The constant and the changing
• Science and art
But what is what?
Solargraphy documents a world where time both stands still and moves. It is a world we know and yet do not fully understand. The combination of the abstract and everyday, recognizable locations from my neighborhood raises doubts about what we are looking at. It opens up for personal interpretations and narratives.
My solagraphs are created in a homemade pinhole camera, that I constructed out of a 35mm film canister. The camera is loaded with photographic paper. After exposure the paper is scanned and processed digitally and then printed.
The photo paper in the camera is 4.2 x 8 cm (1.6 x 3.1 inches). I usually scan it in high resolution and print it in A3 or A2.
The submitted images would be printed at around 9 x 16 cm due to the maximum allowed size.
