Three Times a Day: The Same Street, Three Kinds of People

Juxtaposition of the same pedestrian shopping street at three different times of day. Morning: Slanted light, few people, mainly elderly shoppers and parents with strollers, shops just opening and arranging outdoor displays, slow pace. Afternoon: Strong light, crowds mainly young people and students browsing, outdoor cafes full, fast and chaotic movement on the street. Night: Shop signs and windows lit up, crowds are office workers after work and families dining, activities concentrated in front of restaurants, longer dwell times than during the day. The buildings and facilities in all three scenes are identical; only the light, the composition of people, and their activities change. Avoid: making the crowds look the same across the three times, changing the arrangement of buildings and facilities, depicting any time as empty, or eliminating differences in lighting conditions.

同一條徒步商店街在三個時段的並置。上午:光線斜射,人少,主要是採買的長者與推嬰兒車的家長,店家剛開門在整理外擺,速度緩慢。下午:光線強烈,人潮以逛街的年輕人與學生為主,外擺的咖啡座滿了,街上的移動速度快、方向雜。夜間:招牌與櫥窗亮起,人潮是下班後的上班族與用餐的家庭,活動集中在餐飲店面前,停留的時間比白天長。三張畫面的建築與設施完全相同,只有光線、人的組成與活動改變。避免:讓三個時段的人群看起來相同、改變建築與設施的配置、讓某個時段畫成無人、消除光線條件的差異。
