Deiseal: Sunwise – Jon Macleod

18 Nov 2016 - 21 Jan 2017

Deiseal also means clockwise and this exhibition of solar-graphs, taken from 50 pinhole ‘cameras’ that had been placed in various locations throughout the Islands, is a visual record of the path of the sun from the winter to the summer solstice – 21st December 2015 to 21st June 2016. The cameras were ultra lo-tech, comprising a can containing a piece of photographic film, and each recorded the daily arc of the sun’s path as it rose through the sky from the shortest to the longest day of the year.

An An Lanntair commission as part of the Bealach Creative Place Award.
