| Time-Spaces - China 2012-2013 is a series of photographic work on the experience of time and space in the urban landscape. The works are staged in Chinese cities which by now cover a substantial area of the earth’s surface. The sheer size of the urban area implies that there is no simple answer to the question “What does such a city look like?”. |
| In 2012 and 2013 Wouter van Buuren went to 7 of the largest cities of China. In each city he drew a straight line on the map. From the high buildings on this line he photographed the city. The photographs are presented together such that from the left to right each next column is the view in the same direction 1 hour later, 1 kilometer further. The shifting through space coincides with the passing of time. |

This series is about traveling through the landscape and the experience of continuity and change. To reflect the essence of traveling I have followed strait lines formed by rows of electricity towers during day long trips. During these trips I have climbed the subsequent electricity towers (eleven in number) and photographed from their summits into the same compass direction.
On the three prints exhibited these photographs have been laid out in arrays. The left columns show the view from the first climbed tower in the morning. Moving to the right you see the subsequent views from the next towers ending with the 11th from which I photographed in the early evening.
The images formed by the combined photographs are cylindrical projections of the landscapes travelled through. At the same time they are documents of these travels showing the effect of shifting perspectives and the passing of time.
