ART PROJECT / PERCEPTION

In the last few years, Nandor started an art project named  “LAYERS OF TIME“. These images give prominence to visual impact over narrative context, trying to show the theme from an aesthetic point of view, rather than just documenting it.  By using multiple exposure technique Nandor tries showing stories, that cannot be told with a single frame. He strives to portray the atmosphere and emotions that the surrounding world evokes, capture the spirit of a place, and show how the light and other elements of the scenery change over time. A multiple exposure image, composed of two or more shots, is always a kind of flight from reality and a departure into the unknown. It enables him to show a vision in a unique and very personal way that cannot be easily reproduced.
