Solarigraphy
I love being away in my beloved homestead in the middle of the plains of my country – Lithuania. Nature itself made perfect conditions for Solarigraphy – wide open spaces, perfectly untroubled skies, peace, and quiet. Solarigraphy as a technique is not too sophisticated – high-quality photo paper is placed inside an empty can and exposed to daylight through the tiny opening for an extensive period. Solarigraphy is the art of long exposure photography that captures images of the sun moving across the sky. These exposures can last days, months, even years thus producing absolutely unique art-works. None of the pieces can be reproduced again in the same manner – each image is a reflection of an unpredictable nature. I call them “sun diaries” which I love to read over and over again…
