New York City, USA, 1966 In this New York City bedroom, 1966, there sits a solitary television set, a recurring motif that echoes the composition found in Sequels #5. The television, a symbol of technological progress and a medium for cultural transmission, holds a profound significance in this photograph. This was a time when television was undergoing a transformative evolution, moving from the simplicity of black-and-white to the complexity of color. The change was more than just technological; it was a reflection of the sociocultural shifts and significant events of the era, all of which found their way into the programming aired on this small screen. Thus, the television set is not just an object; it is a window into the period it represents. The photograph, therefore, presents an intriguing duality—an image within an image. The physical television set, the centerpiece of the image, is contrasted with the transformative content it displays. This juxtaposition, an embodiment of the broader cultural shifts occurring in society during this period, lends a rich complexity to the photograph. In the tradition of our ongoing inquiry into the language of photography, we can view this image as a testament to its time. It's not merely the depiction of a television set within a bedroom, but rather a capsule of a moment in history, preserved within the four corners of a photographic frame. The photograph speaks to the evolving role of television as a nexus of technology and culture, an agent of change, and a mirror reflecting the world outside the viewer's window.

Description

One Image, Every Day, for a Decade

Sequels is Joel Meyerowitz's pioneering exploration of photography and blockchain technology, uniting six decades of his work into a decade-long narrative. This visual autobiography offers a unique window into Meyerowitz's diverse experiences across the USA, Europe, and Latin America.

For sequels, Meyerowitz brings together images from over 250,000 negatives, revealing connections between photographs and creating an ongoing, interactive exhibition. As he puts it, "When you put a run of pictures together, you're making ideas, they become your language."

Sequels transcends the boundaries of traditional exhibits, promising a new image every day for ten years. Meyerowitz invites us into this evolving narrative, sparking anticipation and engagement with the question: "What's he going to come up with next?"
