This project attemps to show a camera which retains light not because
...of its intensity (photons density and strength) but because of a high
...............perceptual power of the object it sees
We are not seeing flat images, but perceiving meaningful parts of them.
Each interaction - each image - leaves a mark on
.....the background: eveybody leaves a mark in the
....camera. ......This is its memory.
........When the subject enters the scene their hands and
...face are then first seen... since for a static person, that
...................is what we would focus on.
 |
...When the subject starts moving, their body appears, and
........ the image becomes one
......of a less distinctible “body in motion”...

..By oscillating between movement/motion blur and static ...moments, only some poses of faces and bodies appear on the .screen: perhaps a profile, or a face looking toward a ...particular direction. These are those "privileged moments" ..(Bergson) we would remember from an interaction with .somebody, or those "decisive instants" (Cartier-Bresson) that ..a photographer would like to capture.
