Stillstand is a triptych of 60-second time-lapse video loops showing the path of the Sun over 24 hours.  The work is part of a continuing body of research started in 2013 on the perception of celestial bodies. Contrary to our normal perception, the Sun does not wander through the image but appears to stand still at the centre of the frame. The viewer is made aware of the planet earth revolving because of a temporarily stabilized viewpoint.  This apparently neutral view is in fact carefully orchestrated with the use of a purpose-built apparatus. The Analog Sun Tracker is a motorized revolving camera mounted on a tripod which is in turn installed parallel to the axis of our planet, calculated to each specific location. The camera is thus allowed to complete one revolution in 24 hours, keeping track of the sun in the center of the frame.  For the triptych, the artist traveled to three locations: Shanghai, Rotterdam and Kjølleford, separated from each other by 20 degrees latitude. In each case the recording was made in the month September, close to the equinox, and subsequently edited into a one-minute video loop. The three videos are synchronised and appear to show a single solar day observed from three distinct locations.  The presentation of the work consists of the triptych of video screens and the Sun Tracker itself. The device is placed in the exhibition space as a live video feed installation, accelerated to match the speed of the time-lapse films. In this way the viewer gains access to the artist’s observation process.

作品是一个由60秒延时视频循环组成的三联画，展示了24小时内的太阳轨迹。 与我们的正常感知相反，太阳并没有在图像中徘徊，而地球似乎在旋转。 这种表面上的中立观点实际上是通过一个专门的仪器精心策划的。模拟太阳追踪器是一个安装在三脚架上的电动旋转相机，它又平行于我们星球的轴线安装，计算到每个具体位 置。因此，相机被允许在24小时内完成一次旋转，在画面中心保持对太阳的跟踪。 为了这幅三联画，艺术家去了三个地方。 上海、鹿特丹和Kjølleford，彼此之间相隔20度纬度。在每个案例中，录音都是在 9月，接近赤道的时候进行的，随后被编辑成一个一分钟的视频循环。这三段视频是同步的，似乎显示了从三个不同地点观察到的一个太阳日。
