Timo Klos: Orr

With Orr, Timo Klos let the exposure time extend for as long as the moment lasted. The result is paradoxical; the longer he wants to keep a moment, the more information is lost. Too beautiful!

Artist's statement:  The series was created during what may have been the last 10 days with my girlfriend. I took my photo camera in order to capture our last time together and I exposed every moment as long as it lasted. Her name "Orr" means "Light".
