2007
Rob van der Nol captures moments that enlightens the world, before these moments vanishes. What fascinates him in this process is the fragile moments of transition and change. As a third person, he tries to return these to the world as reflections, as a film in which the time and image are in slow-motion, and things are experienced not from ordinary memory but from the memory of the soul.
In this image-story, the memory of an event is captured between photos nr 308 and nr 309. These photos are part of a walk he made in 2006. In this walk he took a photo on every seventh step. The 337 photographs produced are a kind of stills, and reproduces not only this walk, but also imagine the walk through our memories. The empty moments between these frozen visible moments would represent the invisible time and forgotten moments. The trypich visualises a memory, deeply hidden away and rediscovered between step 1014 and step 1021 of this walk.
