thank you Traveller, jnconradie and Michael!
this whole adventure costed me a visit to the police.
( the good old question, what are you doing at 3 in the morning?-taking photos...)
It is was a 40 second exposure, 20 seconds sitting down, 20 seconds standing.
The contrasting clothing of the subject helped "erasing" his legs. then I found this "half-bench" and I had to try it.Unfortunatly the image has no clear message,and lacks punchiness, but it was great fun.
the whole thing was inspired from Karekin Goekjian's outstanding work, you might want to take a look.

best regards

There's a lot to take in here. The incomplete bench and incomplete figure times 2, both figures transparent and soft...juxtaposed with harsh lighting on the whole scene that gives it an almost sinister feeling. Could be a fading memory, could be an unknown future. -Michael
