STUDIO PROJECT:
Before clocks, the Moon’s phases and the lunar tides were among our most important timegivers.
For a while now I’ve been going out into the street with a camera when the Moon is out in its different phases: the Gibbous Moon, the Hunter’s Moon and the New Moon With the Old Moon In Its Arms.
In July 2015, for example, we walked all night along the Thames under a Blue Moon to try to read the sky-clock. It felt right to roam with no particular goal in mind, at a pace far older than clocks.
These photos are the start of a kind of personal lunar calendar. The process of making them is my way of getting more attuned to other kinds of timegivers than the standard clock.
