Out of Time

Out of Time is a new series of panoramic photographs from all over the world. They are pictures from Scotland, Italy, Tibet, Vietnam, Indonesia and Ladakh, taken in locations where time seems to have stopped and where traces of modernity are absent. There are no people in most of these photographs. The use of black and white blurs the historical identification of the images. Out of Time is an analog photographic meditation on serene spaces made for contemplation. In monochrome, the world seems offset from the reality. The unusual perspective of the panoramic camera contributes to an effect similar to those produced by the 19th century “banquet camera.” The pictures in this series feel as though they could have been taken a hundred years ago. The subject, the mechanical method, and the darkroom process all combine in this work to produce a collection that is rumination on history and place, as well as time and space.
