FOCAL CAMERA

AIMS: EXPLORE THE FIGURATION OF MOUVEMENT AND TIME

Probably everything will be blur. But what can be read in the blur.

Mouvement:

Reciprocity of time and space

Continuous photograph, no shutter, the whole film is exposed / rewinded in front of the light source. The photograph's size will be the film size. 120 = 61mm X 760mm. A 1.2m height print will be moe than 14 meter long. Can we look / read the long photograph like a timeline? Like historical graph with events = Cave painting storytelling

How can we achieve that with digital technologies ? continuous recording in time and space like on a film, not only on the sensor size. Scanning continuously. Digital allows us "infinity" recording (Victoria, Russian Arch) in time.

Calculating speed of the movement to fit the speed of the film. Matching lansdscape in the train?

Time:

The photograph will be taken manually allowing variations of speed. Speed variation will impact the image. Slowing down = figuration

Subjects:

We will try to take photographs of things in movement, like landscapes passing from the train window, and try to match the film speed with the landscapes. Also interesting to explore movement of fish in aquarium or birds flying. Another test could be with waves and water movement.
