Sunburn

Sunburn is a collection of found photographs depicting the popular and somewhat cliché subject of sunsets. Beginning with Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii's Zakat na Morie from 1910, I've bleached, scratched, and defaced the surface of these images to bring them to a closer visual description of the subject they intend to document. Ultimately the photographs fall short, but I've tried to let them exist as their own beautiful analogue.
