Man Descending, 2013
Printed on Giclée, Hahnemühle Bamboo
"Drawing a conceptual line to Einstein's 1905 paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", Man Descending plays with notions of relativity and the ever-shifting perspectives on time and space. Fixed by a still image, the fall seems neither bound by the past nor the future but remains in a perpetual state of the present, akin to the relativity of time that Einstein declared. While we, as viewers, are static observers, the man in the photograph moves in space and time… or does he? Is he falling, or is he floating? Does he move forward into the future, or does he slip into the past?
Man Descending is a fleeting moment that invites the viewer to reckon with our own relative existence and the space around us and challenges conventional views on space, time, free will, and destiny."
