What you see in
this photograph, says Christopher Bucklow, “is a blue sky with thousands of
suns—a sky where all the suns swarm together to form a human constellation.” Guest
is made with an unusual pinhole camera; instead of a single pinhole for its
aperture, Bucklow’s apparatus is “a homemade giant” with more than 25,000
pinholes. The artist explains, “By using the shadow-silhouette of my models, I
arrange the apertures so that the solar images fall into the shape of the
figure, and each sun looks like a glowing cell.”
