Timescapes

If we define a panorama as an image that allows us to see more of an image - a more complete survey of a subject- allowing for an uninterrupted view, how might we define a temporal panorama? A temporal panorama would suggest the ability to document the cause and the effect - the before with the after. Or at the very least, a temporal panorama allows us the opportunity to see more than a single moment in time or a single location in space, all the while affording us the luxury of viewing a single image.

In the second series Terrasi combines elements from previously created artworks. The aesthetic similarities of the subway photographs and the strips of microfilm (from the series Grid Studies within Archival Forms) is striking in this series of mashups. The rigidity of the page layouts and historical archive rubbing up against the rigidity of modern city life and urban planning systems creates a very dynamic visual and conceptual dialogue within the series.
