Valery Lippens strives to create in his series ‘Haecceity’ a more accurate portrayal of our perceptions. Lippens captures commuters in their turbulent spontaneity rushing from one train to the next and creates one large image comprised of approximately 350 miniature photos. He photographs people crossing paths without ever colliding and frames them side-by-side in a chronological order, so that the viewer can follow a single person or group as they walk from one frame to the next. When captured on film, Lippens’ aerial perspective of the chaotic commuters creates the illusion of small black ants marching in a line. Challenging the idea of a single static viewpoint, Lippens found a way to more accurately reflect our perception of the world – one that is often formed by incessantly scanning people and places around us.

Puddle thinking

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

(Douglas Adams)
