The Long Corridor

Seven hundred metres of painted beams, and one afternoon to read them.

The Long Corridor, 19:58

The Long Corridor is 728 metres of painted beams and repeating frames. You do not photograph it whole; you photograph its rhythm.

Seven hundred metres

I used the columns as a metronome: one arch, one shadow, one rectangle of lake. A woman stopped to look at a painting; a child ran through the frame; the light moved from the floor to the wall.

What I carried

One camera, one lens, a cloth for the humidity. The Z8’s monochrome mode is a good way to stop looking at colour when colour is not the subject.
