It is so great to see and your take on that. I have been pondering about Groover‘s triptychs and the aspect of time (or the lack of it) ever since I wrote about it and I am playing with ideas for creating my own versions.

Thank you for sharing!

i can't stop thinking at david hockney and the way he combined photographs, sometimes tens of them in order to create the whole moment/story. he sat in one point, photographed everything around and after that combined the prints. i know it is a different approach to what you present but it's still a matter of combining images.

This idea of a "tertium quid (a third thing)" is really interesting to me. I spend much of my days/weeks looking at combinations of photos and thinking of the relations between them.

It becomes a kind of storytelling or exploration in itself when I start pairing images from different people that express a similar theme or visual narrative.

Triptychs in particular have a way of adding that extra dimension that creates a new meaning going beyond the three individual photos.

Thanks for this insightful post Framing-the-Story.
