Time Scanning

In his most recent series, Time Scanning, photographer Donato Maniello demonstrates how he transcends his medium. His surreal photo manipulations, which capture qualities of photography and film, seem to float in the relatively unexplored space between the two art forms. To achieve this effect, Maniello doesn’t use any state of the art technologies or mind blowing techniques. In fact, the process is pretty straightforward.

From what I can deduce, Maniello simply engages in the scanning process of his photos, stretching, contracting, and shaking certain parts of the scene. Instead of just picking up the original, static image, the scanner takes note of the photos’ movement, creating a distorted finished product. Though Maniello’s process may be relatively uncomplicated, the series itself addresses some complex questions about the grey area that still exists between photography and film.

Sono nato nel 1979. Vivo e lavoro nel mondo, universo. Amo gli esseri umani e faccio fotografia per sentirmi vivo e vicino a quanta più gente possibile. Ho studiato architettura e completato gli studi con un dottorato di ricerca. Nel tempo ho capito che il mio vero interesse era la fotografia ma non sono, ne mi interessa essere, un fotografo purista. Trovo l’inconscio tecnologico più corretto dell’attimo fuggente bressoniano. Amo la tecnologia e sperimentare con essa, ma soprattutto ho individuato subito il mio interesse nell’ambito fotografico e la mia collocazione: sono figlio dell’era digitale, anzi un artigiano digitale.

I was born in 1979. I live in the world, universe. I love human people and I photograph to feel alive and close to many people as possible. I studied architecture and completed my study with a phd. In time I understand that my really interest was in photography and video, and new/old tecnology applied on but I do not care to be a purist photographer. I find the technological unconscious more correct than fleeting time point Bresson. I love technology and experiment with it, but especially I quickly found my field of interest and my place: I am a child of the digital age, even a craftsman digital.
