Full-Cataloguing
Since 2003, Chris McCaw has experimented with sun-burning photographic papers. Here, McCaw used a 40-inch lens to amplify the power of the sun and transform an entire pack of stacked Fuji diffusion film. With a single exposure McCaw created ten distinct impressions of the sun in which light exposed only the top layer of film, while the sun’s channeled heat transformed all ten layers to varying degrees.
