Since November 2001, I have been taking a picture of myself every day. Put together in a video the days fly by at roughly a week per second, blending together to make a new image that transforms over time. The resulting portrait creates a tension between continuous film image and individual photos brought to the foreground occasionally by stray cropped edges. Through its flickering instability, Me: 2001–2004 becomes a meditation on image, identity, and ultimately, mortality. This installment covers three years of a long-term project intended to continue indefinitely.
