Essay by Robert Leonard.
Bullet Time showcases the work of two New Zealand video artists who conjure with time - Daniel Crooks and Steve Carr. It places them in the context of two historical photographers, pioneers of motion studies - Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) and Harold Edgerton (1903-90) acknowledging them as precursors, influences and reference points. In the process, it engages a complex history of interaction between science and art, photography and cinema, technology and consciousness, thought and feeling. The show's title comes from the cinema special-effect made famous by The Matrix (1999). For 'bullet time' effects, a set of still cameras surrounding a subject are fired simultaneously or almost simultaneously. Compiled as a movie, the shots offer an orbiting view of the subject, either frozen in time or in super slow motion, messing with our sense of space and time.
