Photographing Time – Artist Jay Mark Johnson Captures the 4th Dimension

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

“You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind…”

So began every episode for the famous Twilight Zone series.

And so should a viewer be forewarned when gazing upon the surrealist images of Jay Mark Johnson. For these truly are an exploration into another dimension. [Now that you are forewarned, go ahead and browse through his work in the gallery above.]

Before you even go there: No, these are not photoshopped.

What Johnson has done is use a slit camera that captures a narrow vertical sliver of a scene. By snapping a sequence of shots through that slit and lining them all up together in chronological order, Johnson is left with a single piece that essentially depicts the passage of time as seen through that narrow slit. In this sense, each photograph is actually a composite of hundreds of very slim images.

Things get real interesting when an object or objects in motion — like crashing sea waves or a leaping dancer — is captured.

Groovy perspective, right?

    not when they actually dont treatment about our survival which they dont it may be bullshit but when it does occur it could likely be somthing similar to this . NO warning in the least, thats why every one of the main governments of your planet have already been building underground bunkers which most likely want get the job done in any case

    This is also what a scanner does, basically. Nice idea, and mesmerising photos!
