Ca. 1/4 of a Second

Ca. 1/4 of a Second is an ongoing series exploring the quiet dissonance between movement and stillness in urban space. Using long exposures as a temporal tool, the project captures moments where time is not frozen, but stretched — blurred just enough to reveal gesture, direction, and decay.

The title refers to a typical shutter speed used in these photographs — long enough to register motion, but short enough to preserve form. In this visual register, people become traces. Presence becomes temporary. Light becomes a unit of memory.

Shot primarily in public spaces across Europe, the images document the flow of anonymous figures through environments shaped by architecture, light, and rhythm. What emerges is not a portrait of individuals, but of time itself — passing, repeating, slipping.

This project continues my broader interest in visibility, privacy, and perception — how we appear, disappear, and are remembered in the shared spaces of modern life.
