27 Photographic Fragments — States of the Sea
The camera remained fixed in a single position. From the same viewpoint, I photographed the successive movements of the waves.
The horizon remains almost unchanged, while the surface of the sea is continuously transformed. Between one photograph and the next, only a brief interval of time has passed, yet the image can never be repeated: each wave appears, changes and disappears.
Presented as a sequence of 27 analogue photographs, the work is therefore not a panorama assembled from different viewpoints. It is a fragmentation of duration. The same landscape is recorded again and again as it passes through different states.
Installed in a continuous horizontal line, the photographs create a second movement. The viewer’s eye travels from one frame to another while the fixed horizon persists across the sequence. Repetition reveals difference: what initially appears to be the same image becomes a succession of small transformations.
The work lies between photography and duration—between the still image, which arrests an instant, and the sea, which cannot be arrested.
