In this new book by Maarten Vanvolsem, he proposes;

“a new use of this forgotten art: a use in which the temporal terms ‘speed’, ‘rhythm’, and ‘pace’ are of more value than terms so often associated with photography such as ‘freeze’, ‘split second’, or ‘capture’. Within the book one can find more than thirty artists using the strip technique for their artistic practice. A lot of the artwork produced goes beyond traditional photography and the standards set by the photo industry. The research also reveals the extent to which artists use the technique to rediscover the time-based possibilities of the photographic image.”

Hilde Van Gelder It is really exciting to be featured as part of this fantastic book by Maarten and be discussed alongside other great UK based photographers such as Simon Read, Tim MacMillan (The father of the Time-Slice technique).

The 44 page hard back publication comprises of a single image which flows across each spread and uses japanese binding techniques to allow the image to physically continue across the outside edge of the pages. The effect that is achieved is similar to ‘concertina’ folding however, the key difference is that the viewer is NOT able to open out the folds in order to see the entirety of the image.
It has been published by New Art Gallery Walsall, supported by Arts Council England and Coventry University.
