UNDER A BURNING SUN (A WORK IN PROGRESS

The pictures in Under a Burning Sun were all photographed with a Fuji Instax Mini, and started when I learned the film for these cameras reverses when looking directly into an intense light source, like the sun, resulting in a picture that reveals as both positive and negative. I got curious thinking about what it means to see the sun as a negative in the middle of a landscape that appears normal - it is a science fiction sun? a metaphor for our climate or cultural crisis? - and tried to make photographs that explored these ideas.
