Representations of time as a concept in a medium
Since the Futurist movement in 1910, representing time in art has become an exciting medium to explore in all different medias from painting, to photography and even through sculptures. Showing movement, and the passing of times has been shown in several ways, but mainly includes bluring or a repetition of photos whilst the object in moving. One of the earliest presentations of the representation of time is by Giacamo Balla, Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash. The represent this he blurred the legs of the dog and the human, and also of the leash. This became a popular mode to work with, trying to make a picture 3D and as if its moving on the page, and has since been a very common concept to work on. A photographic example of this is by Eliot Elisofon - Marcel Duchamp Decending a Staircase - 1952. Elisofon captured continuous photos of Duchamp walking down a staircase, capturing every step that he took from top to bottom.The way that Elisofon has made Duchamp look almost ghostly gives it a more freeflowing and the continuous flow of time and movement within it. Another example of photographic time capture is by Eadward Muybridge, Woman Walking Down the Stairs from The Human Figure in Motion, 1887. Unlike Elisofon used images overlapping eachother the represent the motion of time, Muybridge uses seperate images and places them next to eachother in frames. This also represents to time that the woman takes to decend the staircase, but in a more solid and not as freeflowin manner as Elisofon and Balla, but still manages to capture the same principle of time in a medium.
