Sun Notations is an experimental video that animates over 50 still solargraphs – a work that merges an analog pinhole photography with digital media. The original images capture the pathway of the sun rising and setting over time, with exposures that lasted one day up to an entire year. Here time and space expand, overlap, and then dissipate as clusters of dust appear like stars, the landscape morphs into abstraction, and sunlight traces across the screen like a drawing in motion. Throughout the work, references to creation and destruction call attention to our immediate present but also to the grim possibility that our planet may not have a forever.
