The passing of time is recorded through the trek of the sun across the sky throughout the year. By capturing the movements of the sun in all moods of weather and across seasons, the photograph accumulates essential information about the quality of light and its capacity at all given moments throughout the year. The resulting image is not a representation of the act, but a direct result, trace or mark, of the act itself. The trek of the sun is literally burnt into the film.
