SOLARGRAPHS, the book, now available.

The solargraphs of Robert Charles Mann offer a compelling meditation on our perception of both time and space—on the ever-present now, the rhythm of the seasons, and what Lucretius called “the secret heart of nature.” They stand as a tribute to the constant transformation of matter and to wonder as the driving force behind creation.

Over the course of several years, he has installed his pinhole cameras throughout the estate of Château Miraval. This curated volume presents, for the first time, fifty exceptional images that bear witness to the silent, continuous movement of time and light.

“[…] Every solstice, Robert comes to Miraval to pick up his pinhole cameras and install new ones. The solargraphs he produces continue to amaze me year after year. Each time, I am stunned to see in one image a place so rich in history and the luminous trace of our journey around the sun. Today I am delighted that Miraval inspires such a beautiful book. This book represents for me a unique tribute to this estate, the cosmos and our friendship.”
