The Bass Rock from Seacliff >16:14:55-16:15:01< 08/10/04, by Ian Scott

'The Bass Rock from Seacliff >16:14:55-16:15:01< 08/10/04' is one of a series of three original prints by Ian Scott, which observe the Bass Rock and reveal hidden rhythms in space and time.

The prints were created by interleaving digital time-lapse photographs, enhanced by use of specialist imaging software. The final images show the flight of sea birds over time.

We see little more than a five second window, a brief moment in time. Image cropping further emphasises this 'time space'; most of the rock is deliberately hidden. There is much more to this experience than can be seen.
