One foot X one foot X one second
One foot X one foot X one second is a mapping of time. A one second video fragment of a train journey is decomposed into a depth of 30 frames. Different elements such as a bench, a light post, the roof of a distant house and a train station sign are isolated in order to understand their position in space. The number of frames in which they appear is an index of their distance relative to the train. The light of the camera focus, visible for 7 frames (a quarter of a second) shows the position of the observer.
One foot X one foot X one second est une documentation temporelle. Un fragment vidéo d'une seconde d'un voyage en train est décomposé en une profondeur de 30 images. Différents éléments tels qu'un banc, un lampadaire, le toit d'une maison éloignée et un signe de gare sont isolés afin de comprendre leur situation dans l'espace. Le nombre d'images dans lesquelles ils apparaissent est un index de leur distance relativement au train. La lumière du foyer de la caméra, visible dans 7 images (un quart de seconde) montre la position de l'observateur.
