A World without Time: Planet 1932

This image is inspired by Andre Kertesz’s photography work, Clock of the Academie Francaise, Paris, a black and white photo that was taken through the clock of the Academie Francaise, looking out at the Seine.

I think it is interesting how the photograph was taken through the clock as if another world exits on the other side of the clock. Perhaps the world on the other side of the clock emerged from the representation on the piece of film. Imagine a place where with each picture that is taken, a new world is created!
