The photographic works by Claus Stolz are
photography in the literal sense – in this case they are time exposures
written by the sun itself. It is not the reflection of the objects, but the direct rays of the sun which form a work of destruction. All
variations from the work cycle “Sun“are influenced by the process of
combustion – round to oval, traces of time burned into the respective
film emulsion – depending on the exposure time, a few seconds up to one
hour. During the exposure, the camera is fixed on a tripod. The
radiation intensity of the sun, softened in some works or interrupted
by clouds during the exposure as well as the film material used and the
settings of the camera determine the motive. The course of the sun and
its path generated during the rotation of the earth is captivated on
celluloid during the exposure time.
