‘The Sunset Observer‘ is a timeless photography project starts in 2017.

Now I'm working on turn this project into an online mobilization.

'Everyone is an observer'

Main method:

Uploading an unprocessed image of the sunset on Instagram, everyone can use the status of 'Sunset Observer' to express a celebration of the sunset.

Or contact the Sunset Observer official account, to upload their sunset moment.

 

Why the sunset?

The sunset appears in the evening, unlike any other weather phenomenon. 

Because of Riley's scattering, the sunset is a very beautiful existence and often shows the most colourful sky in a regular day. The sun goes in front of our sight at sunset timepoint or sunrise timepoint, the sunlight is a relatively long distance in the atmosphere, and the short wavelengths we usually feel are scattered with blue straight light backscattered, leaving only orange and red. However, the particles in the atmosphere themselves do not glow, but by scattering, the sunset can be very complete to present the most poetic picture of the day.

Despite the sunset itself, it is different because of its time to appearances. 

In human society from ancient, the evening seemed more like a lesser busy part of a day, a time to just perfectly can be stopped,  and to look ar this weather phenomenon. it comes to the act of art itself because the sunset is like art, observers and artists are borderless, regardless of geography. But the status of the Sunset Observer is closer to life than the artist' because the sunset is a universally agreed beauty, and it exists in a collective consciousness because it is a gift from nature, from the solar system.

 

And we are in today's information age, everything seems to pass quickly, busy green ordinary human only when off work can have free time in the 'outside society' things for a short time, in fact, observation of the sunset is just a metaphor, this good ordinary class as if it has not been exploited 'discretion' rights and time, stop to rest, look up the head of the case for a long time, this is a no-territory, regardless of the time zone of the collective mobilization.

 

The sunset actually has a lot of meaning, for example in the Cambridge dictionary, the meaning of the sunset as a (noun): the time in the evening time when you last see the sun in the sun in the sky

             the appearance of the sky in the evening the sundown goes.

But the sunset as an adjective has used to describe a part of a law or contract state when it will end, or the not what it will end meaning. This adjective seemed much deeper than the word itself. In terms of that, everyone as a sunset observer, as a participator for Aesthetics's sake, to uploading the moment when they collet the gift from nature.

​

Sunset observation, but also a request for 'different perspectives' of the movement. It has a similar cause to the emergence of yoga, which has a broader choice to enrich her surplus value after a woman's rise, and yoga, which has been a hit with middle-class, especially single women. Sunset observation, on the other hand, breaks this gender restriction, which represents the right of the people who use it to free time, or to be grateful for the gift of nature. This allows for the establishment of a platform to provide a broad visual enjoyment, regardless of national boundaries, geographical, age, gender, work.
