Mr.Timer, a well behaved Basset Hound, decided to drop in for a visit to our office today. This wasn’t the first time this Hush Puppy visits us but it was probably his first posing adventure in front of a camera!
In many of the shots, you will see Mr.Timer relaxing(does it a lot), holding his hands together and slightly turning his face away from the camera as if posing with class and style(I can hear him say: “Get over with it and quickly please!”).
However, Mr. Timer has a high reach when he smells a treat.
"the Silent Camera" was conceived in 2009 and was inspired by the music of Arvo Part especially his piece "Silentium". I perceive the modern world as oscillating between two extremes that are analogous to two of Arvo Part's pieces:
"Perpetuum Mobile" represents the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the sea of people surrounding you, the noise in the streets, the deadlines, the challenges and the lessons to learn, the new technologies and risks facing our civilization, the musical pieces you learn [or fail to master],.. etc.
"Silentium" represents the resolution of every musical note, every spoken word and every movement of your day.
It is the moment that you are most likely to remember after the day's noise has settled and its turbulence has subsided. It is the moment that we all crave and the moment that will allow us to persist to the next day when the Perpetuum Mobile cycle starts again.
