Wait and watch.

This work comes out of the idea of the flâneur, or passante, one who saunters or strolls urban space and observes modern life with an eye for architecture.

I choose vibrant and engaging public spaces, then photograph them a number of times from one vantage point as time passes and the scene changes — the people and the space shift and evolve.

By overlaying several images, a new image emerges that heightens the vitality of the space over time, showing how a space is engaged by the population. The experience of the single moment is multiplied, letting the viewer feel changes within the photograph, as if they were sitting there, taking in the scene themselves.
