Anastasis: Annunciation
The piece consisted of 14 photographic prints in natural light, generated by the impact of silver salts in combination with the light of the sun. The prints were made over the summer of 2018, by placing photosensitive paper in contact with the stained glass window in the Oude Kerk.
During the development of analogue film inside a darkroom, photographic contact prints are usually made by regulating light via an enlarger. A length of exposure is defined that allows a positive to be obtained from a correct reading of the shot. In Annunciation, the same procedure was put into action using the light that is naturally filtered through the church window. The regulation became natural: it was achieved by intercepting the atmospheric and solar variations over the course of the day and throughout the summer season. The light, passing through the window and being charged with the image represented, generated a reflected copy of the scene of the Annunciation.
