3 more cameras hidden on tree, post and window of an abandoned house.
Now waiting 4 or more months until it’s time to harvest the pictures!

Solargraphy
Solargraphy is a photographic art of capturing the sun’s path with a pinhole camera. And much time. A very long exposure …. weeks, months.
I did it (together with my friend Gesine): I used a small black film box, a tiny laser drilled hole, a piece of photo paper, some wire to fix it … and 10 months.
10 months is such a long time that the paper doesn’t need to be developed – it would become totally black – the negative images appears on the paper by itself because the altered chemical grains in the emulsion are going crazy with this long exposure time and start to „burn“ the paper!

Me and Gesine we dive into the beautiful science of solargraphy now. The simple way: a lighttight box, a hole, a piece of photo paper, sun and time. And patience. We hang them onto roofs and light posts. We wait. The sun will leave traces. We capture time. We think about more experimental ways …
