Isabel Martinez – Quantum Blink
Posted by Fabio 9 July 2012
The photographs in Quantum Blink by artist Isabel M. Martínez are composed of two exposures taken instants apart. The striped pattern is the result of masks placed in-camera, this feature allows her to blend two images together and at the same time keep them from fully fusing onto one another. Each photograph holds a brief sense of continuity, almost like an animation, slightly cinematographic. Though they provide a notion of movement and progression, their beginning and end is ambiguous and indistinguishable.
In person, these photo-based works appear to shift and change depending on the distance and the angle from which they are seen; an illusion of volume may become apparent, while other times it may seem as though there are three images at play.
