In Lithuania, where Mekas came from — there's an old idea: "a person is born and dies in the same bed".

A loop.

A life that returns to where it began.

That's what I borrowed - one hour of someone's life.

Two bodies, decades apart, dancing the same choreography through a city that stays indifferent to any of us.

Ten years ago, a woman on a beach used a magazine to hide from my camera. The magazine was Vogue. Days ago, Vogue published the photograph — of her hiding.

A photograph of a woman holding Vogue, now published in Vogue. The image within the image. The frame that contains itself. She raised it as a shield from the sun and my lens, and a decade later that same object delivered the exposure it was raised to prevent.

The institution was there when she tried to hide. The institution returned to make sure she couldn't.

From the series Comfort Zone.
