Half a second by Shimon and Tammar


Half second is, in photography terms, considered a very long time. It is the time of exposure. The double meaning of the word “exposure” refers to time and intimacy. In the time frame of half a second the past leaves an impression, a visual memory of the present. In these series of work BRANSCH artists Shimon and Tammar wanted to explore what a passing moment truly looks like. They asked themselves whether they could actually capture and freeze all the action that accrues in the frame time of half of a second. Capturing all the action that took place in half a second created a visual sensation of a dynamic movement. Eyes move with the lines and curves with that imprinted memory of the past. Shimon and Tammar worked with two dancers, allowing them to enhance the intimate emotion the tension create dialoged, a narrative a story. It gives the viewer the opportunity to see something that they normally cannot see: how time works, its path reveled with the motion.
