the still picture that moves

One property of 17523 Pictures is that it demonstrates human incapacity to absorb all that goes on around us, leaving a vacuum of incomplete memory. In the experiment 2 ladies, the minutia in 1/8 second of the lives of two ordinary people is explored in piercing detail. Like watching the minute hand of a clock, very subtle movements can be seen. If any of us could have stood on that San Francisco street corner 60 years ago, it would’ve been impossible to notice all those little parts of life. Yet they did happen and 2 ladies shows the fullness of time is actually made of tiny moments.
