Time as Narrative in Photography. The Hybridity in Urban Flow Series
Time as Narrative in Photography. The Hybridity in Urban Flow Series

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the mapping of the methods by which the static image uses time as a parameter for the representation of movement, this work aims to analyse how a part of contemporary photography overcomes its status of singular image, of “decisive moment” and rather addresses an extended narrative dimension based on the futurist approach in order to represent reality as a dynamic phenomenon.This approach of organizing and representing reality in flow is justified by the new context in which the image is omnipresent in contemporary existence and by the way the modern man adapted to these new conditions becoming much better “equipped” to gather, integrate and make analogies based on multiple images.In this context, using the Urban Flow series of images, I propose a double exploration, temporal and spatial, whose finality is the redefinition of recorded reality. Starting from technical premises and ending with aesthetic intentions at the base of the images in this series, I analyse the ways in which the obtained photographic image gets a new narrative value.
