VALUES FOR
SLOW IMAGE

Multiply the layers of revelation

An image with an abundance of details, hidden clues, or more elements revealed with time, will catch the attention for a longer time. The mystery is key, and the power of the observer is in its ability to discover the image.

Honor the story

Having a social or political value. Connecting the observer with issues related to its environment.

Call for interaction

The audience is not just an observer, but is inside or even affecting the image in an immersive way.

Grant the time in waiting

Create anticipation. Build the story through steps. The image is a journey.

Release the
immobile

Breaking the boundaries of the still image and 2D. The images change through time and the experience is different on every visit.

Cherish the time of making

Just like craftsmanship in slow fashion. Elevate the process of making the image. Respecting the time for developing an idea and the time of its creative fulfillment
