Walking Through Time is a three-month a/r/tographic journey through a practice of contemplative walking inquiry from the question "how far do you need to walk before you have moved?" to "how much do you need to learn before you become learned?" Each proposition is open to many answers.
This project entailed taking a photograph every hour for a duration of days and compositing them digitally into one image as a way of mapping my movement in time. The work is influenced by the aesthetic sensibilities of movie barcode (https://moviebarcode.tumblr.com/) as well as the theme of temporality and place as taken up by On Kawara in his Date Paintings. In the website linked below, the final image can be seen alongside a selection of images that form the final piece.
Through the practice of photographing and making these images, I was provoked to look at both familiar places (home, campus, streets, etc.) and familiar practices (of photo documentation and mapping) differently. And by shifting attention from destination (my immediate location and the final composited image) to movement (attending to the emergent qualities of each moment), the practice draws me to trust the process of becoming reflected in the work.
