from ‘Linz Diary’ by Emily Jacir
Emily went to the same square in the city of Linz, Austria at [almost] the same time of 18:00 every evening in order to be captured on a web cam (with which Linz is obsessed). She added captions to these self-portraits, drawing the viewer’s attention to her moods, subtle changes in the square, and cultural events.

Her other series (Video) ‘Nothing will Happen’ is quite interesting as well.
