Portrait and Temporality \ Pouya Ahmadi \ Switzerland.
#shortfilm see it in seconds.
Essentially portraits visualize human beings, who exist temporally. Yet this genre has traditionally approached identity as a timeless entity rather than as a temporal un-folding. Thinking of the human body and the face, we have the association to a lively organism who is interacting with the environment and is constantly changing. The change of the organism reveals itself through the passage of time. The visual inquiry questions the essential elements of the portrait which engage the spectator with the notion of temporality, change and the human being as a living being.
