<one> On Duration; ChronoPhotography - 2020 (research/speculation)
Further speculations on moving images to understand Motion. These experiments again roots back to the re-articulation of garden space by staging the scanned elements and tracing the body movement in or around them. The recorded image/images are overlapped multiple times to speculate on the reformulation of space in accordance with the form of an object and the movement it undergoes over the course of time.
The overlapping planes in Picasso and Braque, the linear stratification observed in the work of Corbusier, Eisenman and Loos; questions the very notion of space. Space is usually endowed with an idea of pre-existing neutral condition, independent of the content, occurrences and events taking place within. “Space is discontinuous, infinitely divisible, static, and always actual. Space in short is the milieu of things, matter, identities, substances, entities that are real, comparable, and calculable”. The supposition of this uniform space interchanging into a continuous transformation due to the emergence of a new montage (referring ‘24 hour Psycho’ by Douglas Gordon) instills within what Henri Bergson termed Duration.

As Elizabeth Grosz talks about duration, “Duration, by contrast, is a multiplicity of succession, heterogeneity, differences in kind and qualitative differentiations. It is continuous and virtual. Duration is divisible, of course, but it is transformed through the act of division”. It is a successive framing of qualitative change pervading onto each other. Deleuze related duration to a process of becoming, a change that is substance itself. Changes are however brought by the content or the event taking place within.
Duration is non-spatial, a single continuum of past and present forming as a whole, a conscious state. It is through this phenomenon one can access past in terms of memory. Memory is a perception of already experienced momentary units. Preliminary perception of memory suggests an ‘assemblage’ of ‘images’. Each composed of defragmented information about content and form within.
