Sea, the Pacific Ocean 2022 - present (in progress...)
We took a photographic image series at various locations on the coastline of New Zealand on the pacific ocean with the technical 4-5inch camera and long shutter speed (1.5 hours). The choice of locations was determined by us and has an intrinsic reason, but that is not what we want to talk about. We did not adjust the photographic recordings while shooting, but let technology, time, light and film equipment do the work to obtain a neutral image, a registration in the present. The objectivity of the images is essential and becomes a moderator for reflection if the viewer is open to it.
'...The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he!
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea...'
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
