For my second project I would like to propose a time-lapse, but through the use of photos rather then a stop motion. After researching potential precedents I found a few which I was really interested in.
Idris Kahn is very interesting and I love the way he takes a large number of photographs of the same object and then merges them into a single image. Another is the 'Time is a dimension' series by Fong Qi Wei. He would take photos of the same place continuously and merge them into one; but combining them in a significant way which focuses the viewers eye on a particularly interesting part of the scene.
I want to merge photographs of a object, space or journey to show a change in time using similar techniques. This will require a good subject which changes often enough and when merged together will draw attention to certain points in time, slowing down the time-lapse as the viewer begins to break it down. I am unsure however which technique to use for this. Idris Kahn overlay his photos one over the other, whereas Fong Qi Wei would cut his images and then merge them into one, revealing a broken version of the scene. I will however for now continue to do more research and attempt to find a good subject matter for the photos.
