"Sun Selfie No. 1"

During an artist residency in Örnsköldsvik (Sweden) Eva-Maria Raab created cyanotypes – an old photographic printing process. A positive image can be produced by exposing it to a source of ultraviolet light (such as sunlight!) through a contact negative. She took various pictures of the sun and then let the sun itself create her picture of itself. These sun selfies catch the ephemeral phenomenon of light.
