Michelle Thomas Fine Art: Dwight Eschliman – Excerpts from the One Day project
On view September 15—November 2, 2026.
Reception October 23, 5—7pm at Michelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery + Studio
Dwight Eschliman’s latest project, ONE DAY, catalogues time.
Each day consists of 24 hours. Each hour, 60 minutes. Each minute, 60 seconds. For each execution, the artist photographs one static point in the sky every second for 24 consecutive hours. Each of these 86,400 photographs then becomes a pixel in a larger composition.
The finished pieces are produced in sizes from 18 to 72 inches and include one-hour and 24-hour time spans. The project currently includes over 100 editioned pieces from four continents.
The ONE DAY project has appeared in the American Photography AP40 contest and the Communication Arts 2024 Interactive Annual. It will appear in American Photography AP42 later this year. Works from the collection contribute to private and institutional collections, notably the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
Eschliman’s depiction of each second of a day at once abstracts and reinterprets it to offer a fresh perspective on place and the passage of time.
