{"product_id":"lamina-cenit-fases-de-luz","title":"Zenith — Phases of Light II","description":"\u003cp\u003eNobody photographs 1:48 p.m. It isn't the pretty hour: it's the useful one, the day running at full tilt without a drop of drama. And it's almost always where your life actually happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy does the least romantic hour of the day hold up best on a wall?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause at 1:48 the sun is 71 degrees up and, at that height, it stops being the subject. It doesn't peek, it doesn't cut the horizon, it won't be looked at head-on. It's up there, small and whole, with its crown of strokes, and it is no longer what the print is about. What the print is about is what it causes below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat fills the sheet is the shadow, measured: a comb of 53 vertical strokes, 832 units wide, long in the middle and shorter toward the edges, drawing the parabolic fall of the light. The starting observation is banal, and that's why it's good: at midday shadows don't stretch, they compress underneath things. \u003cem\u003eZenith\u003c\/em\u003e is that compression drawn with a ruler. It's the rigid piece of the series — the one that keeps the whole trio from going soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe print, loose.\u003c\/strong\u003e The printed piece arrives and nothing else, protected for the trip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree sizes, and here they aren't interchangeable.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 20 × 28 in ($89) the 53 strokes separate and can be counted one by one. At 12 × 16 in ($39) the comb closes up and reads as an ordered gray mass.
