Like a mash-up of Duchamp’s famous Nude Descending a Staircase and Muybridge’s motion photography, this Brazilian photographer mixes time and space in a single shot.

Diego Kuffer constructs composites made up of shots taken of the same event, arranging those individual shots chronologically. He dubs the process as ‘Chrono-Cubism’, according to Boing Boing.

“Photography was a way that I found to capture a moment in order to understand what it was and maybe find out how to enjoy it,” the photographer writes on his website. “After awhile, I understood that photography only allowed to capture instants—even a long exposure photo is only a blurred instant.”

Kuffer explains that he decided to “hack photography”, using the techniques of movie-making and applying them to his art. He photographs the same instant several times, “slicing and dicing” the results and mixing it all chronologically.







The aim, Kuffer said, isn’t to express what exactly happened in that moment but rather to show that a moment—an event—occurred.
