summaryThe main task of this paper is to understand if and how static images like paintings and photographs can represent and/or depict temporal extension (duration). I shall concernatrate mainly on the case of photographs. In order to do this a detour will be necessary to understand some features of the nature of photographic representation and depiction in general. This important detour will enable us to see that photographs (can) have a narrative content, and that the skilled photographer can 'tell a story' in a very clear sense, as well as control and guide the attention of the spectator of the photograph. The understanding and defence of this claim is a secondary aim of this paper, that will then allow us to provide a good treatment of the particular case of photographic representation and depiction of temporal extension.
