Aflejringer af tid i geologisk abstraktion 

(English below)

Tid er uhåndgribelig – vi opfatter den kun gennem forandringer i den materielle verden.

Så hvad vil det sige at fotografere noget, vi ikke kan se?
I "Artefacts of Abstraction" undersøger den newzealandske fotograf Michael Collinge, hvordan fotografiet kan bevæge sig ud over det øjeblikkelige og i stedet arbejde med tid i en geologisk skala. Serien er skabt i den afsidesliggende Boszhira-dal i det vestlige Kasakhstan – et område, der engang var en del af det urgamle Tethyshav – og tager afsæt i landskaber formet gennem millioner af år.

Lag af klippe, sediment og erosion fungerer som præcise, aflæselige spor af tid. Men værkerne præsenteres ikke blot som dokumentation. Gennem abstraktion, lagdelinger og subtile spor af bevægelse omsætter Collinge de geologiske vidnesbyrd til visuelle konstruktioner, hvor ekkoet af årtusinder formes, forskydes og gentænkes i fotografiets sprog.

Her bliver tiden ikke blot registreret – den bliver aktivt komponeret.

Artefacts of Abstraction inviterer os til at forestille os det umålelige – ikke som noget fjernt, men som noget, vi kan begynde at erfare gennem abstraktionen.

Artefacts of Abstraction

Exploring geological abstraction as a record of time.

Time is elusive, perceptible only through changes in the material world.

What does it mean to photograph something we cannot see?
In “Artefacts of Abstraction”, Michael Collinge explores how photography can move beyond the instant to engage with time on a geological scale. Shot in the remote Boszhira Valley in western Kazakhstan—once part of the ancient Tethys Ocean—the works draw on landscapes shaped over millions of years.

Layers of rock, sediment, and erosion form precise, measurable records of time. Yet these are not presented as documentation alone. Through abstraction, layering, and subtle traces of movement, Collinge transforms this geological evidence into visual constructions—where the echo of millennia is reshaped, extended, and reimagined through photographic form.

Here, time is not simply recorded, but actively composed.
“Artefacts of Abstraction” invites us to imagine the immeasurable—not as something distant, but as something we can begin to perceive through abstraction.
