Location: Shichling, Spiti Valley, India
This image combines 287 exposures, each lasting 30 seconds, made between 9:36 pm and 12:45 am. Stacking the photographs reveals the stars’ apparent paths around the northern celestial pole as the Earth rotates. Their natural colours, influenced strongly by surface temperature, become more noticeable along the trails. Earlier that day, a snowstorm had swept through the valley and threatened our plans. By nightfall the sky had cleared. The result records both the passage of time and the remarkable speed with which Himalayan weather can change.
Artwork #20 — A020
Acrylic, Glossy
Size: 60 × 40 cm (WxH)
Limited edition of 150, across all sizes and materials combined.
