Rounding the Square
Rounding the Square is the title of a video installation Hetty Huisman made in the early 1990s. The work consists of a six-hour video tape of sunsets. Huisman shot the footage for this work in 1989 in southern France, where she recorded the setting sun for one hour every day for three months. While filming, the impact of sunlight on the camera triggered a burn-in process that distorted the landscape images. With the setting sun, the camera also captured its own destruction. It resulted in a video of unprecedented landscapes with double suns, black holes and otherworldly colours – just by capturing a chemical process.
