Photography is a framed frozen moment of a space in a time. The perspective of content is influenced by a lens which was used to shoot the image and thus the dimension of space as same as we feel. The time - longer shutter can reveal a movement by the blurriness of objects, but it is relative if we take in account early photographs where exposition time was very longer, and the pictures of streets looked empty. I see the unique feature in a camera that everyone can use it to record the world around us and catch a time.
Photography is the most realistic portray of space and is similar to our images in mind. As I wrote that sentence is it really true? Last week I visited a place where I was in my childhood, space, buildings and roads were situated in different composition to my images which I have been holding for 33 years. It was shocking, I could not believe it is the same space, but it was. The perception of a child was somehow different.
What another creative art form can deal with time if we do not talk about film strip? I think the medium could be games, virtual reality (space), programmed to show the past or future in real or imaginary space. Do we really be able to recognise we are in virtual reality?
