In the mid-1960s Ray Metzker began to experiment with making single works of art from an entire roll of film. The individual exposures were printed onto long strips, giving the impression of uninterrupted movement across space and time.
Organized in even rows, the prints form a unified composition that photographically expresses moments in time that appear to be both simultaneous and sequential. They resemble frames for a movie laid out in an abstract tapestry.
