Time one week

One week captured in timelapse Approximately every 8 seconds I shot a frame One sees a table with a vase full of gladiolas The flowers slowly wither Three goldfish are observed in their aquarium A candle is replaced as it burns down and the differing speed with which each candle burns becomes visible A small television runs nonstop set on the German Channel 1 Theres a chair on the left where I sometimes sit to eat or read A clock hangs on the wall as does a calendar When the sun shines the window casts a shadow that meanders along the wall At night one sees the reflection of the candle in the static on the television screen The rhythm of time is interrupted each time I put a new roll of film into the camera sometimes causing the clock to appear to move backwards Twice reality is captured in real time when a fish is fatally ill and once to capture the entire setting Milena Gierke
