"The Transition From Point A to Point B"

This is the accompanying text for a new series I am working on.

A single photograph most commonly portrays a sliver of time or a second of the larger event. A series of photographs taken of a single event, periodically spaced, becomes a stop-motion animation. A stop-motion photographic animation, strung together, flattened, and compressed back into a single image renders and becomes a recording of the entire event. The process then becomes this invasive step that a two dimension image takes, rendering itself as the visual representation, referencing the third dimension and incorporating the fourth dimension, time. The single image now not only presents a sliver of time, but a visual duration of the event in its entirety. The image no longer portrays a second of an event, capturing only point A or point B in the event, but the complete fluid transition from point A to B.
