linz diary (2003) by Emily Jacir. Currently on view at Exposed. For the month of October, 2003 Emily went to the same square in the city of Linz, Austria at [almost] the same time of 18:00 every evening in order to be captured on a web cam (with which Linz is obsessed). She added captions to these self-portraits, drawing the viewer’s attention to her moods, subtle changes in the square, and cultural events.
