Nostalgia (1440), 2019
Digital projection, 1440 minutes, unique

1440 photographs from the artist’s personal digital archive of daily snapshots documenting his life will be projected for one minute each for the duration of the 12 Saturdays of exhibition. The archive was made with various digital cameras since the early 2000s. After the photographs are projected the files

will be permanently deleted. Each photograph is shown for one last moment, whether witnessed or not, as the archive is slowly erased. The title refers to Hollis Frampton’s film Nostalgia (1971).

David Horvitz (lives in Los Angeles) works with installation, photography, mail, performance, sound, artist books, watercolor, digital media, text and film.
