“‘Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present’
– From Burnt Norton by T.S. Eliot
The Extended Present seeks to blur the boundaries between past, present and future through image sequencing, repetition, and overlapping. Photographs are from the Savannah area. They were shot and printed with a toy thermal print camera.”
