Test of Time

These pictures are part of a series in development named Test of Time. The images in this series are made with a pinhole camera and an exposure time from 8 until 24 hours. The path that the sun describes in the sky and its reflection on the water becomes visible. The line is sometimes interrupted which means that it was cloudy at that moment. During the process I discovered that I am attracted by the cyclic movement of time and water as an important aspect of our human existence and as the most mysterious thing there is. In these photo's I concentrate on the contemplative nature of water in connection with the theme of time. Water and light are like metaphors to visualize the passage of time. You see the present and at the same time also the past. Not reality itself but the experience of it is important as well as the emotion and the experience of human perception.
