Through a process that converts mass into time, "Kinetic Sandwich" explores the secret beauty of an everyday object.

From the Artist:

"In my process, a three-dimensional object is sliced. The slices are photographed and played in sequence. Therefore, two dimensions of the object, length and height, are presented as the video image. The object's third dimension, width, is converted into time. I call the resultant animation an object¹s 'temporal portrait'."

"At the dawn of the motion picture era, Eadweard Muybridge photographed motion and laid the sequential stills out on the page. Those dismantlings revealed to humankind the secrets of movement. Muybridge exposed the stillness hidden in motion."

"Over a century later, this concept is inverted. Temporal portraits expose the motion hidden in stillness."
