Sky of the World, sunrise of the new millenium, 1.1. 2000
Art
project searching for participants all around the globe.
I am working on the ubiquity and the omnipresence of the sky and
the contrast between the natural daylight and the artificial light
of neon tubes. In order to realize this worldwide project I need the
support of many people in the world who would like to participate.
- If I am asking you: how does the sky above you looks like now and
you are looking into the sky for a minute,- then the project starts
to get you !
Concept : On January 1, 2000 / the first sunrise of the
new millenium every paticipant takes slide (!) fotos of the sky above
him. In the exhibition all single horizons will be put together
and form one horizon of that one day around the world. The
photos of the natural daylight will be made visible by an artificial
light installation.
Task List :
- Preparation: Please, get a 36 DIAPOSITIVE - SLIDE film
end of december 1999. To get the first sunrise you probably take
the foto camera with you on new years eve.
- Shooting-Time: January / 1/ 2000
best: After the party, when looking at
- the first sunlight / the first sunrise of the new millenium
or: during the daytime of January 1, whenever you may
grasp for the foto camera
- Place: all around the world, wherever you are,
best: a place with a free view (e.g. tower, free field, upper
platform of a house, balkony, bridge, view across a lake or river..)
- To Do:
make a 35 picture panorama of the sky (that much is necessary),
- How to do: Release 35 x without interruption: start with
image 1 up to the end of the film, picture 36 may be a photo of
the place, where you are.
Lead the camera from the left to the right above the zenith
or along the horizon i.e: each new photo joins the end of the previous
one, turning out into a panoramic view from photo 1 to photo 35.
It has to be observed that in case of clouds these have to be photographed
in sections (one after the other) from left to right: beginning,
center, end of the clouds. If you have blue or monochrome sky in
the viewfinder, go ahead and release several times on the spot just
blue or monochrome sky, so the film will get fished.
Get the light in its different colours. In case of only grey
or blue cloudless sky even though release 35 x ( even focussing
one spot only). For the project it is important as well to dispose
of films of 'only' one colour.
Make sure there are no objects as e.g. mountain peaks, treetops,
roofs, in the image.
- Pure sky!! Therefore a camera with zoom would be
important.
- Keep the photos horizontal (otherwise it won't be a continuing
line).
- Do not develop the film unless you are sure that the entire
film strip remains uninterrupted and won't be cut at
all at the photo studio: Picture 1 till 36 must remain one single
strip !!!
- Add : Date: 1/ 1/ 00, Hour, Place/ State, the Photographer's
name.
