Nummer Negen is the product of time-lapse photography. Compiled to convey the passage of a full 24 hours in just 9 minutes, the image depicts Guido van der Werve's performance of standing at the North Pole for a day. The figure remains centered, the frame also remains constant. The sun traces an arch over van der Werve's figure as the audience allows those nine minutes of viewing to account for a full historical day. The mechanics of this interaction are nearly identical to the viewer's experience of Wesely's MOMA time-lapse images.
