From the explanation

“This persistent six month long exposure compresses the time from solstice to solstice (December 21, 2018 to June 16, 2019) into a single point of view. Dubbed a solargraph , the unconventional picture was recorded with a tall, tube-shaped pinhole camera using a piece of photographic paper.”
