4. Exploring time in photography

PHOTOGRAPHY, CINEMA, MEMORY; THE CRYSTAL IMAGE OF TIME. Damian Sutton.

p.39. 'The photograph is often considered timeless, negating time or simply poor in comparison to cinema. Andre Bazin, for example, might have talked of cinema as "changed mummified", but photography, for him, "embalms time" itself.'

Potentially look at iconography/concepts that depict time in our day to day lives and merge them/forget about them in my images. Time lapse can help with this - opened, long exposure - allowing for movement to show the passing of time. Each photograph you see is generally still, excluding Bresson's decisive moment where they show movement within the image. They encompass a part of cinema - a moving image.
