Six Seconds of Movement

“Six Seconds of Movement” is a compelling photographic series by Roland Wegerer, consisting of 26 long-exposure photographs. Each image was captured with a six-second exposure, during which the artist moved in front of the camera. This process results in dynamic traces of motion that are compressed into a single, hauntingly beautiful moment. The series transforms fleeting gestures and subtle shifts into visual echoes, making the invisible passage of time tangible. In “Six Seconds of Movement”, photography becomes more than a medium for documentation—it is a tool for experimentation and discovery, blurring the boundaries between performance, sculpture, and image-making.

The long-exposure technique allows Wegerer to explore the concept of expanded sculpture, a term central to his artistic philosophy. Here, the human body becomes both subject and medium, drawing lines and forms in space that exist only for a brief instant before being captured by the camera. The resulting images are not static portraits, but rather layered records of movement, presence, and transformation. Each photograph is a unique synthesis of energy, intention, and chance, reflecting Wegerer’s interest in the intersections of control and unpredictability.
