What is Tempography?

• minimalist, video-based, conceptual art project
• ‘time’ and ‘movement’ are its primary elements
• explores what is between photography and cinema/film
• can be described as brief visual impressions from everyday surroundings, creating an atmosphere, an image of thoughts, rather than telling a story
• was developed in 2003 by Swiss artist Anthony Bannwart/Hontoban and Swedish fim-maker, Magnus Aronson

How to participate.

Three easy steps:

You can use a video camera, a portable camera, or even a telephone. Any kind of camera, as long as it makes video.

Tempography videos are maximum 30 seconds long and minimum 4 seconds. Check theguidelines below for details about how to make a Tempography video.

Make as many Tempography videos as you like. You can submit them in whatever format works best for you.

The submitted pieces will be juried by Tempography founders Anthony Bannwart (Switzerland) and Magnus Aronson (Sweden) with a third jury member to be announced.

How to make  a Tempography video.

– time element is crucial for a tempograph; the art form was born from the idea of extending the photograph.
– to capture what a still image cannot capture. The more isolated the movement, the more tempographic the piece
– the key: without the movement or change in composition, there would be no need for the duration. It is minimalist video art – constrained, observational.
– a tempograph is a single moving image shot
– no cuts, fades, etc
– no effects
– colour balance/intensity and brightness/contrast may be adjusted, but as little as possible
– camera must be as steady as possible (tripod)
– no longer than 30 seconds.
– real-time
– minimal narrative (doesn’t tell a story)

A tempograph is a way of documenting an individual perspective, a unique metaphor, a point of-view. It mirrors the narrative of an individual: the author. The tempographic idea brings with it personal ways of looking at, and even re-discovering, the visual world.
