Water sequence

Work description and interpretation
This work had been conceived for a chapter of my website: "Catching time". With the camera that I have mounted on a special piece of equipment to help me keep it in the same position, I go onto Fondamenta Sartori in front of my studio. I place the camera on the corner of the wall and take a picture from the same place. The frame captures the place where the water rises and falls according to the tide. The photo isn’t always taken at the same time. It is determined by what time I get to the studio. It is as though I am clocking in; it’s a way of articulating and recording time. Sometimes, something in the canal or in the frame intervenes between the wall and me: a boat, an engine, the cargo on board a boat… I don’t evade it, I photograph what I find.
