Jonathan Tan's project Waiting For The Lift captures everyday lift lobbies in Singapore through cinemagraphs, blending nostalgia with a sense of movement. The artworks transform static scenes into dynamic, vibrant experiences, inviting observers to see the beauty in the familiar. These creations evoke feelings of reflection, encouraging contemplation in typically overlooked spaces. Jonathan believes that experiencing quiet beauty is essential in fast-paced life, prompting individuals to slow down and appreciate their surroundings more deeply. His artistic approach represents a fresh take on mundane environments, infusing them with life and magic through innovative visual storytelling.
Jonathan's project Waiting For The Lift uses cinemagraphs to interweave nostalgia for familiar spaces, transforming lift lobbies into kinetic, enchanting scenes filled with life.
By isolating movement within an otherwise unchanging scene, the lift becomes kinetic and full of life, inviting beauty into the mundane aspects of everyday living.
The suspension of movement in these edits creates a type of tunnel vision that one may experience in a moment of dissociation or hyperfixation.
Appreciating quiet beauty allows one to slow down in our otherwise fast-paced life, offering a moment to step back and appreciate our surroundings.
