RESEARCH 01

1 I started with analog photography. I am taking photographs using the whole surface of the film. To use the whole film as one photograph i am rewinding the film in front of the lens with the shutter open. In my first trials i used and old minolta srt101 because it allows you to control the rewinding and the shutter manually. As expected there is a lot of blur. More precisely motion blur, because in a way, with the rewinding gesture i transform my still photography camera into a moving-image camera. I am therefore taking photographs with a moving image camera. Doing so i have the feeling that both space and time

2 The medium format experiments: not being afraid of breaking and mistreating the clean and technical imagery. I built a medium format camera that doesn't have a shutter. On previous experiment i remarked that the shutter played an important role in the selective process of the subject. I am interested in this tree therefore i frame and press the shutter to capture the image. But what is happening when the camera doesn't have a shutter? The process of selection is transferred to

3 Fixity in photography and the impact on defining reality, identity as a fix and certain concept. Breaking the idea of a static use of photography and reality.

4 The gesture: Rewinding

My axes of research are now:

How do we experience time in photography? How do we explore the transformation from fixity to movement? The precise instant when still image become motion-picture? (Marker, C. (1962). La Jetée) How do we represent, interpret or record the fluid character of time and space?
