Every Day Is Doomsday

For Every Day is Doomsday, artist Julien Levy sought to portray everything one would need to know about love, loss, anger, and absence. It is, in his own words, the story of a recovery, a study in decadence, an essay on freedom. Developing a narrative through the incorporation of multiple original texts, as well as over 100 photographs made on damaged, burnt film, Levys series takes the form of a three-year-long diary, spanning locations including Tokyo, Seoul, New York, and Paris. The delicate, washed-out colors and visible defects in the film give Levys photos a dreamlike quality. Levys enigmatic, poetic images and meditative texts offer rumination upon life in an uniquely intimate format.
