Photography: Continuum

I understood continuum as a concept where there is a continuous sequence where each frame (still) is not perceptibly different but the extreme change is distinct. In essence it ends up being a narrative displaying gradual build up of small changes in a way that the set of images as a whole connect seamlessly, however there would be a visual juxtaposition between the initial photograph and the last.

As a result, I intended to explore the motion of unravelling a ball of yarn, being that the constant is the ball of yarn and the location (positioning,) however the slight change would be exposing new layers of the yarn by unwinding the string in small amounts between each photograph taken. Between each photograph I would unravel the yarn 5 times, so as the ball of yarn slowly decreased in size, the pile of loose yarn adjacent would slowly increase. Therefore, through the series of images I had taken I noticed a negative correlation (relationship) between the two changing components in the composition. Extraordinarily what was initially dominant, which was the bundle of yarn, progressively became more faded as it was the growth of loose yarn that became potent. Due to this the roles had been reversed as to what had become the focal point.
