At the exact moment of civil sunset on March 20th (equinox) Blumenfeld, using a handmade light-recording device, recorded a two-second exposure of the amount of sunlight present at that moment directly onto a single sheet of film. For the subsequent 92 days, she documented the sunlight at that exact time onto separate sheets of film. The 93 still images show the sun’s daily and subtle shifts in intensity; as time moves toward the summer solstice (June 21st) and the sun approaches its northern most point in the sky, the days gets longer and the sun stays brighter later in the day, and so the images grow in brightness. -- source link
