Stones and Cinema

Sub-atomic theory visualizes motion in stillness: A stone has a lifespan at a molecular level, and it moves very slowly even though one would need eons to perceive these motions. In terms of cinema, change the duration (at any level) and the reality attached to it changes with it! The notion between duration, movement and perception become skewed. Here I can fully appreciate the works of  Douglas Gordon, where the imperceptible becomes visceral, as the notion of movement-image challenges our perception.
