Corine Hörmann "Test of Time"












The images are made with a pinhole camera, which is nothing more them a black box with only a tiny little hole in it. They are part of a series in development named Test of Time. The images are made with an exposure time from 8 until 48 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. These photo's are concentrated 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.
