The idea of the single image commanding our attention has faded away. It seems as if we need to be distracted in order to concentrate. As if we are living in this new kind of space, the space of information. The experience of the discordance between an image and a moving image can leave the viewer with an overwhelming sense that, there is more they are than meets the eyes. The framed image itself is, as we know, a capsule containing memory, time & narrative, one that can be communicated, presented and re-presented across global platforms. The decisive moment as understood in photographic terms, where composition, narrative and time converge to the form an image of captured reality disguises the fact there are dark passages of narrative content hidden, undisclosed, yet they remain intrinsically linked to the final presented images.
