Charles Ross: The Year of Solar Burns (1993)
Charles Ross documented a year of sunlight for 'The Year of Solar Burns', (commissioned by the French Ministry of Culture for permanent installation in the Chateau d’Oiron). Ross burned the daily movement of the sun onto planks of wood by concentrating sunlight through a magnifying lens. Each of the 365 planks, with its curved smoky flarings, captures one day of sunlight, a portrait of sunlight drawn by the sun itself. Continuous or interrupted and stopped by clouds. Ross also discovered that when laid end to end, the solar burns trace a double spiral.
Interesting . . . . :)
