It’s a matter of asking the right question!
So, what is this?
An animation? CGI? AI? No.
And this “no” begins with the question itself.
The correct question would be: “What are these?”
The correct answer is: “These are 8,040 photos of an orange slice and a tiny piece of red paper. Both objects were placed on a turntable, and the 8,040 photos were taken in four and a half minutes. All 8,040 photos were then arranged from left to right into a collage. The work thus shows how the viewed space changes in 270 seconds. Or, put another way: you see 270 seconds in one image.” Doesn’t sound very exciting, does it?
Well, whether sexy or not – that’s the truth and the correct answer to the question “What are these?”
If you were to ask me the best question for exploring the work, I would suggest: “What do you feel when you immerse yourself in what you see?”
