kinetic energy
Here we were posed with a different problem; how to make something flat that already had depth, with the help of light.
I struggled a while with this, I definitely felt stuck in the shadows concept with this one as well.
Then I started asking myself the question, "How do we perceive depth?" At first, you think of a room being created by different lines that have an optical vanishing point. Now, to make this flat would be interesting, technically but I felt there would be a limited esthetic value in it.
I then got around to thinking that we also perceive depth by the use of movement. Something moving back and forth gives us this sense; there is a foreground, a middleground, and a background that is achieved in our view.
So, by the use of a longer exposure, I blurred the lines between all of these, therefore creating a more abstract image that, I feel, becomes "flat" (at least in a photographic sense) in its abstract nature.
More pictures will follow.
