FOCAL CAMERA

AIMS: EXPLORE THE FIGURATION OF MOUVEMENT AND TIME

Mouvement:

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

Time:

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

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.
