The title «FPF #1», of the two-part photogram from the series with the same name, refers to the abbreviation for «Frame Per Foot» and thus to the process of creating the work. Each photogram of the series was exposed for as long as a human foot touched the ground for a single step, the duration varying according to the gait and speed of the walker. Deschenes refers to the measure for image rates "frames per second", which describes the number of individual images of a camera that are taken per time frame. The artist uses analog photographic techniques to examine and visualize time as a physical unit. «FPF #1» is a record of the material conditions of its creation. The structure of the surface changes depending on the brightness during the exposure of the photosensitive paper and the intensity of the chemical development. The immediate reality of the photographic process takes the place of a mediating reality - in the form of a motif.
The horizontally staggered works have a monochrome mirror-like effect, which, upon closer inspection, reveal a highly individual, sensitive surface: “It changes, it oxidizes, it catches handprints if handled. It is a sensitive, vulnerable material.” Photography is no longer just a momentary snapshot, it is constantly absorbing the influences of its surroundings. Similar to Stereograph #35, FPF #1 should not be seen as a classic picture, but as an experience that is bound to space and time.
