Moments Method

Moments is an ongoing observational archive shaped by a defined practice which started in 2008 and has evolved into an ongoing practice. On 1st May 2026 formal rules for the project established.

The project is built from discrete lived moments captured through stills and moving stills, guided by clear spatial and philosophical boundaries.

A Moment may exist as a single still, a single moving still, or as a curated sequence of multiple stills or moving stills.
The defining principle is proximity: each Moment must remain within the same immediate experience — a close physical boundary defined simply as “within five steps.” Whether one frame or many, all elements within a single Moment must emerge from the same lived point of attention, place, and presence.

The choice between still and moving still is philosophical rather than technical.
A still is used when a single frame fully holds the moment.
A moving still is used when sound, duration, or subtle motion are essential to preserving the lived experience.

This framework gives Moments its identity: not a retrospective collection of disconnected files, but a disciplined observational practice built over time.
Each entry is part of a long-term body of work shaped by presence, proximity, and attention — preserving moments as they were lived, rather than reconstructing them after the fact.
