Digital Photography, Film, 2019.

I’m interested in time and movement and more specifically in the dialectics between mobile and immobile; light and shadows; photography and video; objective and subjective time. Chronomorphosis II is an animation of a photograph by a subtle play of light and shadows generated by a moving image of a hand. It transforms the photograph’s surface into a space, a recipient, a playground for the viewer’s imagination where anthropomorphic forms are created in the time lapse of the video. These micro movements of light create a sort of Shadow Theater that captivates the viewer’s mind. Characterized by the passing of time, a stream of images or flux that coincides, in the time lapse of the video, with the passage of time in the viewer’s own consciousness, and for which (and only for his consciousness), it becomes a temporal object. Time, thus, becomes subjective as Henri Bergson defined it.
