Jeremiah Dine: Now is Tomorrow
Now Is Tomorrow started as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stuck in lockdown, Jeremiah Dine began posting daily selections of the tens of thousands of photos in his archive, taken over the previous decade. As the months progressed, Dine refined his approach, using the parameters of the current calendar day as a construct. Eventually, uncanny narrative themes emerged from the random nature of this process.
Shot on digital and film cameras and his phone, the images reflect Dine’s ongoing obsession with the “trash stratum,” as well as his daily observations of the mundane and beautiful themes Dine has been exploring since his teens. Each volume contains a week’s worth of images – 10 images per day – organized in chronological order. At turns hilarious, playful, and poignant, Now is Tomorrow shares Dine’s pure engagement with photography: a daily practice that has evolved over a lifetime. Volume 1 was published May 1, with volumes 2 and 3 to follow this Summer.
