Chantal van Rijt: Analemma (2017)
20 × 27 cm, 48 pages

Wishing to capture the sun while facing the impossibility of doing so with a standard camera, Chantal van Rijt uses the basics of photography and of the eye itself: light falling through a lens, causing a projection. In this book, all photographs are aligned according to the position of the sun in the picture frame. The sun always remains in the middle of the page and so determines the place of each image. The off-white tone of the pages is printed on extra-white paper, leaving only the sun’s image completely blank.
