A personal study in vanishing and appearing, through Italian light and some birdwatching. Acts of recording, things fleetingly seen and felt, while inscribing the corpus-anima in sunlight through refracting glass and water, and multiple exposures. The work draws on Marsilio Ficino's 1494 book on sunlight, De Sole, in which he says "light penetrates into the innermost parts of things, but it mixes with none of them... nothing is clearer, nor more obscure." I was also thinking of Jacques Derrida's assertion that all photographs are of the sun.
