This&nbsp;<strong>long exposure<\/strong>&nbsp;technique makes it possible to capture processes of change over days, weeks, or even months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example: one of our pinhole cameras was directed at bean plants for&nbsp;<strong>seven days<\/strong>. The movement of the leaves is visible only as a green veil. A bright diagonal shows a wooden beam supporting the fence, while the top of the image reveals the neighboring house\u2019s dormer windows. Beneath the red sky, the ridge of the roof appears as a curved line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solargraphy<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Making Time Visible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique of\u00a0<strong>solargraphy<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a special form of long exposure with photographic paper inside a pinhole camera \u2013 plays a central role in the project. Over many days or weeks, light is captured, producing unique color gradients and traces of the sun. No two images are alike: chance and time collaborate to shape each artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transformation as an Artistic Principle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as the bean plants were in constant motion, the project\u00a0<em>Metamorphoses<\/em>\u00a0itself embodies the idea of change: ideas evolve, cultures meet, and new forms of artistic expression emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and many images from this project, visit:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/the-7th-day.de\/archiv\/index.php?%2Fcategory%2F75&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Metamorphoses Archive \u2013 The 7th Day<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project&nbsp;\u201cMetamorphoses\u201d&nbsp;is a joint initiative of German and Polish artists, founded by the&nbsp;Hund &amp; Katz&nbsp;collective.
