Structures of time



We can measure time, and we measure it very precisely, we treat it as something precious that can be saved or sacrificed, we complain about the lack of it, and we can't even really say what it actually is. In photography, time is closely related to the mechanical registration of images and the recording of waves of light reflected from photographed objects. From the above definition, there is a common belief that photography resulting from mechanical recording is a reflection of the world as we know it. Is it really?

Structures of Time is my photographic vision of the world that man is unable to see - while intuiting or imagining its existence based on scientific theories, philosophical concepts or beliefs. A vision of a space-time that is a collection of events, in which we see not so much a record of our current actions as a synthesis of generational efforts - for the iconographic layer of the project is about aggression and wars, inherent not only in recent years, but in all civilizations.
