Imaginary Time #1, 2013 is part of an ongoing investigation into the unseen shapes, structures, and boundaries that define our world in both time and space, approached through a series of formal photographic challenges. Created entirely in-camera using experimental techniques, the work tests the limits of what is traditionally considered photography, pushing against the medium’s pure indexicality.
This piece is one of a series of “time and location shifted” works, each combining images captured at different times and places—here, uniting landscape-oriented trees from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, with, at a later date, multiple portrait-oriented exposures of the Empire State Building. All elements were fused in-camera, with no post-production compositing.
The title, Imaginary Time, references the physics concept in which time is treated as a multidimensional function rather than a linear progression. The work embodies the idea of an image containing a span of time and space within itself, challenging our conventional understanding of temporality and perception.
