In Time @ 272 High Holborn Oct 15 & 16




In Time is a group show that explores the subject of time and is taking place this Friday and Saturday at Blueprint, 272 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7EY.

The show comprising screenings, installation and performance seeks to examine time as duration, material, and as concept and process.

Olympic Changes: an inadequate document of life will be screened during the exhibition, between 5.30 - 6.30pm on Friday 15th October and again on Saturday 16th of October between 2.30 - 3.30pm.

Olympic Changes: an inadequate document of life addresses time through the relationship between the still and moving image. The film looks at the concept of time as it is first arrested in the still photographic image (as a moment that is isolated and taken out of time) and then (re)animated as a moving image in digital video. This experimental film takes the analogue photograph as its source material and transforms the still-ness of photography into the dynamic movement of film. 

Olympic Changes originates from six medium-format photographic negatives taken from a moving train. Each of the negatives were digitally scanned and repeatedly divided and cropped to make 600 separate images – each becoming a frame in the film. Movement is re-animated through digital video to reflect the play of motion present at the original moment of capture. The frames of the film are sequenced in such a way that the viewer not only journeys through the changing urban landscape, but also journeys through each of the six still photographs. Witnessed is the banality of an everyday train journey, entwined with the structural changes taking place to the urban environment around the Olympic site in East London.
