To Mark Time

Timo Klos

From researching the work of Klos it made me think of the people suffering from dementia as trapped memories in time, and finding ways of making their memories matter. Through the act of mundane, everyday activities brain activity can provoke thought and memory recollection..

 

To Mark Time - Timo Klos

 

A series of photographs of German Care homes and their bus stops to nowhere..

"These people follow old memories and come here to wait for the bus. However the bus will never come, because the bus stops are fake. At first these places give a sad impression, but they seem to take away the inhabitant's inner unrest. They sometimes become familiar meeting points, places to sit, drink coffee and talk."

 

Another series of photographs by Klos, overly exposed images, each depicts a sense of transparency, due to the lengthy exposures the images have undergone a journey through a passage of light and time.. This technique is something I intend to explore in my own photography, making extreme light enhancements and exposures.

Exposure of the everyday. A select collection of images taken in response to allowing the manipulation of time and light to form the image.
