Blanca, 2024. 4×5 inch slide, tape.
Blanca was shot with a large format camera, where I used my body as a tripod. I addressed myself directly to the sun and used an exposure time of 8 minutes and 19 seconds – the time it takes for sunlight to reach us – and tried to keep the sun in the middle of the ground glass.

Footnote (Blanca) acts as a visual introduction to my work and working methods. In the solo exhibition change fair it is presented alongside the exhibition text. This portrait was taken during the making of Blanca.
Change fair is the final exhibition in a series of dialogues by invited artists that question the relationship between artist and device. Where and when exactly does a work come into being—in the hands of the artist, within the capabilities of a tool, in the viewer’s eyes, or simply in an interplay between these.
