about the EVERYDAY project

I find my images in everyday life. Several times during the course of the day I stop in my tracks because something has caught my attention.

In the early 1990s, I began to carry a camera at all times. From then on I have been taking photographs of those instances. While I followed an impulse to create the images, I had no use for them. In April 2006 as a way to store the photographs, I started to display them on my website nolden.com.

Unexpectedly the project evolved. Within the neatly arranged stream of photographs I began to notice recurring themes and a particular way of capturing them. What had started intuitively became a process of self- exploration, documenting and thereby investigating my visual perception.

Over time the project has been instrumental in uncovering and developing my own personal aesthetic. Furthermore, this photographic project has strongly influenced my moving image work. [read more]
