“Photography is truth. And cinema is truth twenty-four times a second” Jean-Luc Goddard

Devoid of any actual moving image, StillMoving rests in the space between cinema and photography, and reflects Deleuze’s theory of the time-image; ‘an image in which time ceases to be subordinate to movement and appears for itself.’ The movement stems from action, rather than relying on a motion picture; and becomes a still image where movement is propelled by the viewer.
Focus is taken away from the cinematic and given back to the photographic.

An image may only ever be a representation; never the actual thing it is depicting, never the ‘truth’ as it was once believed to be. Perhaps the only actuality to which the image can be assigned is its indexical factor; that it is no more ‘real’ than the silver emulsion on paper, or the pixel on a screen. StillMoving aims to highlight this falsified reality.
