Daying / Martina and Lina, 2007

1 of 2 | First | Previous | Next | Last 

Daying (2003 - ongoing) started by chance in 2003, as a three persons exhibition at Transition Gallery, London. We decided to make a joint project about spending each of us a day at home, taking pictures of what ever we wanted. Then we exhibited it along a time line. That was Daying 1.

Daying 2 took place on the same day, the 27th of February, a year later. Isabel didnt want to take part anymore, so it was now just Martina and I. We spent a day together wandering around Buenos Aires and taking pictures of each other. A couple of weeks later we showed it as part of a group exhibition in Centro Cultural Recoleta, that was Daying 2.

In Daying 3 we remained faithful to the date, but we were in different cities, so we just took a couple of photos of the views from our windows. That was Daying 3.

The year after that Martina was 6 months pregnant, and we delayed the Daying day by a couple of weeks, so we can be together. We spent it in Martina's flat and neighbourhood in south London. That was Daying 4.

The year after that (2007) was also in Martina's flat in South London, but now there were 3 of us - with Lina, Martina's 9 months old daughter making her first appearance. That was Daying 5.

Daying 6
, (2008) is mostly in Martina's New flat in K??ln. It is about 2 weeks after the birth of Martina and Gereon's second daughter, Luise.

To date the project is made of images, videos and sound recordings.

The project also has several satellite extras. Including images and two videos (interluding and interluding 2).
