Abstract

This article considers how experienced time can be perceived through manipulated photographic images. The investigation is carried out by a series of digital images whose content is renegotiated over time, while the subject of the photograph remains within the frame. The resulting duregraphs constitute an unstable space between a photographic composition and a moving image. The main objectives of the study are to question the power conventions in visualization and to expand the way we can conceive of time as duration in digital photographic images.
