A year in Form
2021
This project visualizes the change in light that a particular space experiences over the course of a year. A white box was placed in the center of an empty backyard storage shed, facing the cardinal directions. Each side of the box was photographed every ten minutes for an entire year in the naturally lit space. The resulting images were arranged with the vertical axis representing the passage of light over a single day and the horizontal axis capturing the progression over 365 days. Each final image is a composite of approximately 52,560 individual photographs, with four separate works corresponding to the four cardinal directions - documenting the light experienced by each side of the box over the course of the year.
The resulting images capture not only natural variations in light - such as the shifting color of sunlight and the changing length of days - but also artificial interruptions like passing cars and motion sensor lights, revealing a complex, dynamic portrait of the space’s luminous experience.
