Photography
Gayeton's photographs merge his interests in narrative, film, and interactivity. The work is concerned with how time is treated in photography. He has said, "I've always seen photography as being about a single moment, whereas film is about orchestrating a sequence of moments (scenes) to create a larger narrative."http://www.boingboing.net/2007/08/17/slow-food-slow-livin.html To achieve this effect Gayeton's works consist of up to a hundred photographs, often shot over the course of many hours. These are printed and composited to create a single image. Handwritten text is added later by the artist and placed over the image http://www.ibabuzz.com/seen/2008/08/27/savor-slow-life-in-a-tuscan-town/.
