All That Is is a series by British photographer Toby Trueman.
A long exposure, 36 individual photographs, same position, same height, same point of view and same elements (earth, sea and sky) that break the frame in their most essential characteristics.
This series is a celebration of nature and at the same time a study of its permanence in the face of man’s fleeting existence.
A study on a continuous and daily cycle from millennia, the natural one, but also of the disinterest of the humanity on the existence of this last one.
The coast is where the planet is bare, consumed by the changing face of time.
A face that changes through various exposure ranging from 6 minutes to a split second dragging the viewer into an identifiable reality.
Man is represented from time to time, with ships passing by in the night, insignificant in the vast horizon but it is the absence of man that allows us to fully concentrate on what is behind us.
Only on the final frame there is a little change, two figures who approach the water, representing a recognition and a celebration of each other need, even if only to allow us to appreciate the world not alone.
