“San Francisco is poetry. Even the hills rhyme.”
Temporal Atlas: San Francisco
2015
This project was conceived as an installation piece. The concept was to start from a point in downtown San Francisco, and each day walk in a different direction, at a different time of day, and as luck would have it, in different weather conditions making a picture every 10 minutes. Once the images were shot, they were printed in a darkroom as silver gelatin prints and dry-mounted to boards. The mounted prints were then laid out in a grid on a black background moving roughly from morning to evening and northeast to southwest from the top right to bottom left. The images are placed on stanchions of varying heights so that they overlap, and a grid of white cotton twill string weaves between the prints and holds them in place, representing the city grid and hilly character of San Francisco. Presented here is a gallery of the photographs that make up the piece.
