Don’t you want to come
and see the light? One blink
of the setting sun.
Do you know those moments? A setting sun, just above the trees, in a completely clear sky. In the foreground a lake that reflects all the light.
You know you better not do that, but you look at the sun for a moment. You are blinded, it takes a while before your vision recovers. But fascinated, I “watch” the beautiful colors that emerge on my retina...
That makes me curious: what will the camera do if I point it very quickly at the sun, without giving it time to adjust to the enormous flood of light? Can I blind the camera for a short moment, just like my eyes did?
I turn to the sun, the camera ready. I point it at the sunvery briefly and a quick, short movement...
An experiment…

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING
Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…

A sparkling light to start the day with an amazing color. Could be a dangerous experience but attractive one too… Have a nice sunday Jacob with your loved ones
Thank you very much Laurence. It is dangerous indeed, but it happens to everyone sometimes, accidentally or because you want to see something in the direction of the sun. But of course, very briefly… Have a wonderful Sunday too with yours !
Thank you dear Jacob for this great experiment and the marvellous result you created.
Wonderful to be reminded with my own similar experience and enjoying the breathtaking colours . We just have to be courageos to do so in very special moments.
Best wishes for colorful Sunday for you and yours !
The world would be a little poorer, if people like you and me didn’t occasionally conduct a little experiment, or try something that has never been done before….
Thank you very much, dear Ute, we wish you a wonderful Sunday too
