“This book presents a seascape, recorded as continuous scan of a single point on the horizon over a period of seven days. What we see, though, is not the expansion of space, but a passage of time as captured by a simple, custom designed line-scan camera.I recorded these images in November 2007 on the Greek Island Syros, from a hilltop called ‘Oros Harasson’ which translates as ‘mountain that inscribes the direction of light’. The camera was oriented precisely at the point where the sun hits the sea during winter solstice.”
