Solar Recordings | Bart Urbanski

“Solar Recordings of Phone Calls with Family, Friends, and Scammers uses long exposure times to document the sun's movement across the sky. The exact time of each exposure is dictated by the duration of specific phone calls allowing inferences to be made about the nature of the relationship and conversation that each photograph records. The length of the exposure causes the film to solarize, which turns the sun's path into a dark, vaguely extraterrestrial, streak; cleaving across the sky in each frame.” B.U.

What is photography if not the meeting of light and time?

A moving piece by Bart Urbanski reflecting on his life and relationships. Supplemented by a call log index, an afterword by Sarah LaPonte, and carefully hand-bound by the women of Pine Island Press.
