Experiencing Interruptions?

Punctum Temporis

What is a moment? Is time composed of moments like frames on a strip of film? When does one moment end and the next begin?

Punctum Temporis is an experimental film by artist and photographer Michael Coldwell. Featuring narration by philosophy professor Robin Le Poidevin, the short explores the metaphysics of time, a meditation on the nature of the moment.

This work was completed by Coldwell for an MA in Cinema and Photography at the University of Leeds. He is now undertaking post graduate research into time and photography.

Michael Coldwell, born Mick Schofield in Glasgow 1983, is an

in Leeds, UK.

In 2015 Coldwell began working towards a practice-led PhD
in photography and time, at the University of Leeds. He has also worked as a designer, archivist and musician over the years,
releasing experimental music under the name Conflux Coldwell
