By Carl Ander.

Because the images are published as timelines, they remind us that the process of photography deals with time and space, as well as the constant manipulation of those parameters. It follows then, that the skill of the photographer is to make choices in relation to the camera and space. Therefore, the series of construction sites evidence the camera’s ability or inability to act as a window to reality. The philosopher Vilém Flüsser once suggested that ‘in the act of photography the camera does the will of the photographer, but the photographer has to will what the camera can do.’ 1 In contrast, the still lives of matches, poker cards and other ephemeral culture, reflects on another type of construction work; and another type of relationship between camera and photographer. On a fundamental level, they relate to early photography and a period when staging was essential due to the long exposure times.
