Theory Over Time delves into the serendipitous moments of life, capturing the unique nuances of time, space, and place as they vary from one instant to the next. Each experience reveals the ever-changing elements of air, light, shadow, movement, and the presence of people on Earth. The vignettes presented are derived from my explorations throughout the city, drawn to locations for various personal reasons. The selection of spaces photographed is spontaneous, with no prior arrangement made before setting up the camera. Each of the ten images within the slideshow is precisely spaced six minutes apart, measured either by stopwatch during film use or automatically by the camera in digital format. Ultimately, "Theory Over Time" reflects the randomness inherent in nature.
