Solar Passage Year: 2025 Location: Fundão, Portugal Solar Passage was produced using a pinhole camera made from a soda can suspended on a net facing the sky for one day. The image reveals the dark silhouette of an eye framing the mesh of the net, while a red undulating line records the sun’s path throughout the exposure. Small interruptions in the line correspond to moments of cloud cover. The net traces a fragile boundary between what observes and what attempts to contain. Beyond it, the sun crosses the image as a continuous presence, indifferent to any barrier. Light ceases to function solely as photographic material and becomes a gesture of passage: silent, persistent, and impossible to retain. Through a slow and elemental process, the work transforms duration, waiting, and exposure into a record where time remains visible, yet never still. Technical Note: Image produced using a pinhole technique with an aluminum can manually pierced with a needle. Black and white photographic paper was placed inside the camera, which was installed on an outdoor net facing the sky for three consecutive days, recording exposures from sunrise to sunset. After exposure, the photographic paper was digitally scanned and the colors inverted, as the paper functions as a direct negative. Contrast and brightness adjustments were applied.
