Clepsydra

In 2020 a personal encounter with a waterfall derived in a series of explorations on photography as an ephemeral time measuring device. Clepsydra (2020-2023) takes its name from an ancient Egyptian device used to measure time by observing the flow of water out of a vessel. Inspired by these water timekeepers, for the making of these objects I used similar processes of dripping, sedimentation and crystallisation with the photographic emulsion of cyanotype.
