solarization [‚sō·lə·rə′zā·shən]
(graphic arts) Reversal of a photographic image due to great overexposure. (physics) Loss of transparency or coloration of glass exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet radiation. Solarization in photography, a phenomenon arising when a photographic material undergoes an extreme amount of over-exposure: the greater the exposure, the less the density of the blackening of the material upon development. For the moderate exposures ordinarily used in photography, by contrast, the density increases with the exposure time. Solarization is a result of the oxidation of latent-image centers by neutral bromine atoms. Under great exposures, these neutral atoms are formed in substantial concentrations within the microcrystals of the photographic emulsion and rise to the surface of the crystals (the rebromination process).

No references found | Don Hallock uses colorization, image layering, and solarization as interpretative tools in the autobiographical The Father Tapes and the purely abstract Good Time Charlie Mars. All photogravures generated from reversal negatives and the occasional solarization process, the group contains singular images and others whose titles suggest they are part of a series: Desire and the Eye (I, II, III) and Obscene Bird of Nights (I, II, III). The figures routinely have a skin quality, impressively mastered by Teraoka, that suggests both the glow of life and the decay of death--an appearance akin to both the effect of solarization in photography and depictions of the undead by Bosch and Goya. |
