Rather than considering photography as a means to capture an instant, some artists subverted this practice to express duration in time. Sometimes through collages, sequences and superimpositions, in some cases through a single long shot, photographers are exploring different methods to synthesize the fourth dimension within the bidimensional range of a frame. The results provide a wide variety of unexpected solutions, some extremely synthetic while other very fragmented, pushing further the boundaries of the practice.
