It is a video work that examines the shift between the two types of media practice: the
film/movie (as the moving picture) and the photography (as the static image). How far
can one go when analysing and comprehending these two media. The film - which
directly originates from a photograph - here in an ontological way becomes a
photograph, since that what is being filmed is the still frame, in other words a static
frame. The specific photo punctum and the sound imply that it is a video recording, but
habit and perception make us believe it is in fact a photograph. This piece of work
actually proposes the idea that there is only a slight difference between the two media
depending on their perceptive and technological context.
