Stay the Same

  • Noah Kalina every day for six years

    I’ve now been filming myself every day at exactly the same time in exactly the same place every day for over seven months. Today the sun rose at the same time I turned on my camera, and it is now light when I get up in the mornings (usually about twenty minutes before filming). As…

  • And in contrast . . .

    My friend Sarah sent me this when I first started the project. We agreed that it is almost in complete antithesis.

  • Laurel Nakadate
