Photography as Spatial Event: Régis Durand's Theoretical Framework
In a follow-up to his earlier article "Photographies, 'sculptures du temps'" (art press n°108), Régis Durand continues his exploration of photographic temporality. He argues that photographic time, far from being a rhetoric of instantaneous capture, resembles the imprint of a living duration, taking the form of a paradoxical becoming-volume. This new piece extends the discussion to consider photographs as "events of space," shifting focus from temporal to spatial dimensions. Durand's theoretical work challenges conventional understandings of photography by emphasizing its material and durational qualities.
