 Pyranography
An ongoing research in the self-developed art of Pyranography. The name pyranograph stems from Greek, "pyr" (fire) and "ano" (above, sky) and "graphos" (writing). Pyranography is a technique where an installation simular to a Campbell-Stokes recorder is used to create Solargraphs. A typical exposure is several weeks to six months to create a negative shadow image in wood. This technique was invented in 1897 to measure the amount of sunshine per day and is still regularly used in places where electricity is not easily available. By using the changes in the angle of the sun during the changing of the seasons this technique can be used to make shadow images in wood. © All images, texts and the idea of the artists work are subject to the German copyright law and if pro rata the relevant collecting society and if pro rata the photographer.
