The medium of Time shift combines the old and the new. It is presente as a book, but with the ability to play sound according to the interaction with the book. This way it draws the viewer in while leaving room for imagination. Through augmenting photos with sound, a new narrative is created. A picture only captures a small part of one moment in time. As sound waves travel everywhere, it is not possible to “frame” sounds. Hence sound can be viewed as a more honest medium. In the words of soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause: “a picture is worth a thousand words, but a soundscape is worth a thousand pictures.”
