Day to Night

Exploring the temporal and circadian rhythms of daily life, Westport, CT-based artist Stephen Wilkes photographs views from around the world that evoke shared histories and collective memories. In his ongoing series "Day To Night," fleeting moments of time and light are captured through durational photographic processes. Working from a fixed camera angle, he takes up to 1,500 images over the course of a day and then digitally blends these individual moments into a single photograph.

MTA Arts & Design presents a selection of photographs from "Day to Night" featuring New York landmarks, including Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and Washington Square. These iconic sights are rendered anew with the artist’s unique approach, reminding us of New York City’s unique ability to inspire awe and wonderment to residents and tourists alike.
