24 seconds is merely enough time to gather my thoughts. It’s the time it takes for someone to pass outside my window. For Massimo Leardini, it is enough time to photograph a whole book. Two frames per seconds, hands moving steadily, eye closed occasionally. The looking comes after, slowly, folding time into another form.
The book explores the interplay between perception and creation—how a fleeting moment can be transformed into something more permanent. It serves as a reminder to slow down, appreciate the present, and recognize the value of introspection in our fast-paced lives.
The 41 photographs in the book were taken on the 22nd of January 2019 between 10:43:21 and 10:43:45.
