Sunrise

About this book

The book portrays a tilt/shift bellows system in the form of a filmic sequence. The device, a photographic tool for the control of perspective and thus a means of the photographic gaze, becomes the photo model itself. In the sequence of images a single light source orbits the object like a sun. The light changes from a sleepy darkness to the blue hour until finally the apparatus shines in a golden morning light. The book inverses the materiality and motifs of photography, technical space and natural phenomena, and shows a photographic sunrise for a photocentric world view.
