In a weird way Ive gone against the idea of Time being a subject now. The more research i carry out the more i understand that time itself isnt a subject at all, to re-create time and portray time would be a huge challenge. After struggling to find Photographers who have used time as a subject, i came accros artitsts who have represented time in thier paintings. In a way, Photography itself is unconditionally using time as a subject, taking a photo is capturing that present moment in time. Salvador Dali well known for his outragous paintings created a painting called 'The Persistence of Memory' (1931) It portrays Time and Space. The painting is an example of how over time things adapt to its surroundings, our memories changing form as we age and sometimes forget. It was thought that this dreamlike painting also represented how time has no relevance when we do sleep, however, does this represent wasting time or simply avoiding it?
Time Lapse Photography meaning many photos taken to create a 'moving photograph'. The problem with this idea is knowing the brief states it
has to be a still life. So this Time lapse skill would be no use. (Especially when using film!) The more ive looked into it i've realised that time as a subject, is a no go.
