Prolongance

Photography by Eric Laverty

Challenging conventional boundaries of the medium, I merge movement, time, and space into fluid, continuous compositions. My approach, which I term "Prolongance," transforms photography into an unfolding process—one that engages my body as both an instrument and a subject in dynamic collaboration with the environment and the camera. Each image emerges as a durational event, where traces of movement, intention, and interaction converge into layered visual narratives that redefine how we perceive unconsidered moments and interpret the photographic frame.

Straightening the Staircase

It echoes themes throughout Prologance where experiments with the capture of movement redefine the familiar and disrupt traditional spatial narratives.

Crossing 42nd Street

"40 Deuce Street, the weaver of magic. Sometimes beauty, sometimes tragic. Where glamour and illusion are the welcome committee. Where overindulgence becomes self-pity. Where pleasure becomes the absence of time, while dignity goes begging and confusion becomes rhyme..." - Umar Bin Hassan, Be Bop or Be Dead

Walking the Line

Reflecting on Richard Long's seminal piece 'A Line Made by Walking' where he used walking as a medium, creating traces of corporeal presence and bodily action.

"You've got a way to keep me on your side, you give me cause for love that I can't hide, for you I know I'd even try to turn the tide, because you're mine, I walk the line. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I keep my eyes wide open all the time, I keep the ends out for the tie that binds, Because you're mine, I walk the line" - Johnny Cash
