Sun: 72 Poems for 72 Solar Eclipses

Copenhagen, Denmark

Origins and traces
Sun: 72 Poems for 72 Solar Eclipses was initially made for two open calls — one titled "The Wrong Eclipse" timed to the 12th August 2026 solar eclipse across Europe, and the other for the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Mostar, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Raw photo material
The raw material for Sun: Triptychs for Solar Eclipses consisted of photographs of a broken card reader at Hellerup Station, shot on a Nikon D200 with a Carl Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/2 lens.

Archiving Sun in CERN's data centre
A branching out of Sun was an attempt to store an archived version of the project's Prolog code in CERN's data centre in Meyrin, Geneva, Switzerland, using GitHub as a storage trigger at the exact time the solar eclipse would be at its fullest here in Copenhagen, Denmark, which was at 20:03 CEST.

I missed the mark by around 10 minutes according to Zenodo's timestamp (created: 2026-08-12T18:13:55.785751+00:00).

MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory Exhibition
An adaptation of Sun was on display at ‘Solar Eclipse’: An exhibition at Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, Ireland, on August 12, 2026, based on a visualization of all 72 poem variants in addition to three video visualizations titled 'Apertures', 'Apparitions', and 'Auguries'.
