Human perception is so limited not only in vision but in time axis. Most occurred events, and even the evidence of our existence fade out without being perceived like winds and clouds. The limited number of technologies and lyrical poems can reveal these unrecognizable events. Time-lapse photography is one of key technique to summarize long-time sequences into short video clips. It makes us feel long-time-scale scene change.
人間の知覚は視覚のみならず時間軸でもとても拘束されていて、多くのイベント、そして我々が生きた証でさえもは雲や風のように認知されることなく消えていきます。この認知されない事象を記述できるのは抒情詩や限られた技術だけだと思います。タイムラプスフォトグラフィーはその一つの技術です。長時間スケールの変化を人が認知可能な時間スケールに変えてくれます。
