What gives us stability, what provides security?
Many answers could be found, but they all have one thing in common: their transience. Space and time, on the other hand – at least within our lifespan – endure. They are the constants that we can rely on from our first breath to our last, as individuals and as a society. In the midst of a fleeting existence, they offer reliability. They are fixed coordinates of our everyday perception – apart from Einstein’s relativity. But what happens when these apparent constants begin to waver? When space and time elude our usual view and we are forced to experience them anew beyond the familiar order?
This is where the series Space over Time begins.
Through the slit-scan technique and thousands of image sequences, works emerge that transcend the framework of traditional photography – and in doing so, challenge our habitual ways of seeing.
Space and time are not only rendered visible in new ways, but become perceptible on an entirely different level.
The experience of existence begins to move.
It shifts, changes direction, and opens itself to new perspectives.
What remains is an image – and a sense that our perception does not end at the visible.
