16 long exposures cm 13x18 each, printed in Fine Art on Hahnemuhle William Turner paper, mounted on Di-Bond cm 70x100 with black resin surface.
Time of our love is a conceptual work that is part of the series Photogenic Chronographies, the aim of which is to investigate the language of photography in one of its liminal zones, namely its relationship with time. Photography abandons the classical function of representing an instantaneous space, frozen in a fraction of a second, to attempt to represent the passage of time, thanks to the technique of long exposures.
Time of our love is an intimate work that, through 16 portraits of the author's wife as she utters the word "love," attempts to metaphorically represent the couple's love relationship in relation to the passage of time, in its various moments and vicissitudes.
It consists of 16 long photographic exposures of different durations, grouped into 4 rows of 4 photographs each. The first row from the top includes 4 photographs of 1/50 second each; the second 4 photographs of 1 second each; the third 4 photographs of 10 seconds each; and the last 4 photographs of 20 seconds each. The photographs are mounted on a surface reminiscent of an everyday household object: the blackboard usually hung in the kitchen on which notes, reminders, and messages are written. Next to each line, the sum of the times of the corresponding photographs is written in chalk: 0.1 seconds of love; 4 seconds of love; 40 seconds of love; 80 seconds of love.
