The whole point of this sequence of images was to document movement of people within a 1 hour time frame, taking a shot every 4 minutes. From where i had set up my tripod, i was staring through the tunnel to a homeless man, who for him time stood still, continuing to encompass him with perhaps cruel and unstructured meaning, while other people walk past him, leaving him unnoticed and unwanted. I am now exploring into the idea of isolation, where in this case, although the homeless person is out in the open, he will be made to feel isolated from the rest of the world, who wouldn't want contact with him. Despite this, he will be accepted with other homeless people, who will seem to live in their own bubble. I wanted to compare stagnant and pointless existence with busy and fast paced movement, while i was stood back witnessing and documenting. I have recently spoken about doing this with the people close to me, but i am now starting to venture out more, using the public and public spaces more as my subject. The image used at the end shows the space in which i was stood, i felt this was relevant for the sequence of images, yet overall i think it is an experiment in which i have dismissed as a piece of work on the whole.
Artist Study: Stephen Shore
An artist who deals with bright colours and domestic spaces was originally my first attraction to his work. "Photography and the limits of representation" see's Stephen Shore discuss the ways in which a three dimensional world flowing in time is transformed into a photograph, and how cultural forces are made accessible to photography through architecture.
