Moments Between Stillness

イラン・デレックは、写真とスローシネマのあいだを横断するマルチディシプリナリー・アーティストであり、日常の一瞬を静かで没入的な映像作品へと昇華させる。ストリートや旅の写真を基盤に、彼の制作は無作為に現れる身振り、すなわち生の現実の断片から始まり、それを時間の中へと拡張することで、静けさに呼吸を与える。

瞬間を引き延ばし、再構成することで、デレックは時間を測られるものではなく、感じられるものとして探求する。彼の短い映像作品は写真的な観察から生まれ、わずかな動きを瞑想的な体験へと変換し、スペクタクルではなく「在ること」そのものへと意識を向けさせる。

映画、古典写真、そして詩的な表現から着想を得た彼の作品は、日常の喧騒の中に思索の余白を生み出す。それは単に「見る」ものではなく、「感じる」ための作品である。---

Ilan Derech is a multidisciplinary artist working between still photography and slow cinema, transforming fleeting moments of everyday life into quiet, immersive films. Emerging from a foundation in street and travel photography, his practice begins with the candid gesture, an unposed fragment of lived reality, and extends it in time, allowing stillness to breathe.

By stretching and reassembling moments, Derech explores time not as something measured, but as something felt. His short films evolve from photographic observation, turning subtle movements into meditative experiences where presence replaces spectacle.

Drawing inspiration from cinema, classical photography, and poetic traditions, his work creates spaces of contemplation within the noise of daily life, pieces that are not simply viewed, but experienced.

Moments Between Stillness | 静けさの狭間 is a contemplative body of work shaped by the Japanese concept of ma (間), the space between things. Not an emptiness, but a presence: the pause between sounds, the stillness between movements. Ma offers a quiet rhythm, inviting us to slow down, to notice the subtle and the unseen.


In Moments Between Stillness, Ilan Derech captures the fleeting intervals we often overlook. The work becomes an invitation to reflect, not just on what we see, but on how we see. What deserves our attention? And what do we allow to drift past, unnoticed?

Latest Pieces




Heart of Water | 水の心

Collected by: Anonymous

In the heart of the pond, a fan stirs the quiet air, gentle as a whisper. Lotus blooms without sound, while koi drift like thoughts, fluid, ever-changing, beneath the surface of time. The water reflects all yet it holds no judgment, only the stillness of what lies within.

Sacred Echoes | 聖なる響き

Collected by: Anonymous

Snow whispers softly on the shrine, blanketing the world in quiet grace. Every flake a gentle prayer, falling slow, embracing space. Beneath the frozen sky, time folds into stillness deep. Here, the heart speaks softly, in silence, prayers keep.

Breath of Winter | 冬の息吹

Collected by: Anonymous

Snow falls gently on the temple, a silent prayer rising with the frost. In the quiet, everything is still, the world wrapped in white, as if time itself has paused. Here, in this sacred silence, the snow and prayer blend together, each flake a prayer, each breath a quiet blessing.

Nights of Neon | ネオンの夜

Collected by: Charles Butler

She steps into the light, a soft smile hidden behind. Her voice calls the night. Neon glows around, her heart sways with every note, a song from the past.

Blue Stillness | 蒼の静寂

Collected by: Anonymous

A swan glides through the blue, followed by others in quiet formation. Their feathers barely stir the lake’s surface. Mount Fuji stands tall above, its reflection perfectly mirrored below, a diamond of snow and shadow cut into still water.

Frozen Memories | 凍った記憶

Collected by: Anonymous

Neon lights paint the night, soft as snow falling on quiet streets. The world hums in a gentle glow, and memories linger, carried on the cool air, frozen in time, never to fade.

Biography
Biography

Ilan Derech is a multidisciplinary artist working between still photography and slow cinema, exploring how our perception of time shapes the way we experience the world. His practice begins with attentive observation, rooted in travel and street photography, where candid gestures and unposed fragments of daily life become the foundation of his visual language.


From this photographic grounding, Derech extends moments beyond their natural duration, transforming fleeting instances into immersive moving images. By stretching, looping, and reassembling time, he invites viewers to reconsider what a moment is and how long it can last. The ordinary is not merely documented, but held open, allowing presence to replace urgency.


His work exists between motion and stillness, where subtle movements carry emotional weight and silence becomes structural. Drawing from cinema, classical photography, and contemplative traditions, Derech creates meditative works that offer space within the acceleration of contemporary life. Rather than seeking spectacle, his practice cultivates attention, turning passing gestures into living memories that feel both intimate and timeless.
