101 Long Shits by Evan Wilder

November 11, 2019

In 2013, Evan Wilder set out to make long, slow videos of his surrounding Pine Barrens.

Autumn streams flow with fallen leaves. Waterbugs swarm. Bats swoop. Fish leap. A squirrel huddles through a storm. A turkey protects her young. A fawn naps. Brooks brim. Pines glow in summer's afternoon sun. Turning leaves sway in Autumn's twilit breeze. Oak shadows slowly slide on the surface of new fallen snow. Spring rains expand stems and leaves. At the pace of the turning earth, celestial objects appear to slide across the frame. Dawn emerges, days go dark, the moon rises, Orion continues westward.

And now in 2019, the series ends at a total of 101 videos.

If one were to watch them all, it would take almost 2 and a half days.

Perhaps they will survive further into the future as digital record than the environment they were recorded in.
