In Moving IV - Carel Balth
In Moving IV of 2002, is a
'red seat Balth videoed on a train. The light shifts with the movement of the
train and time, the pliable skin of the seat invoking the presence of
travellers.’ The photographers intention is to show the train travellers without having them there with the seat moulding around each of their shapes showing a days travel on a train. He did this by morphing his video into a still image giving the viewer the task of understanding what this abstract image is of. The texture in this photo depicts the crumples and creases which form around the travellers body making it a rounded texture, coming out of the frame.
