    Up to 2.7 seconds is the time span the human brain tends to process as a mere moment – the duration of the now? In my photographic process, the camera records 16 individual images during that time, 61 centimeters of light-sensitive material slide through the apparatus in a horizontal movement. This process is translated into the light installation The longer I wait by lighting up the resulting image sequences for 2.7 seconds and showing them time and again, challenging the speed of the viewer's perception.
