Only Yesterday
How long?
It was only yesterday when we were just kids,
sitting in the grass by your old house
and we took photographs of each other.
I took your photograph because I wanted to remember.
I wanted to remember.
I want to remember.
I don't want to forget.
Watching the light fade.
Going…going…
How long until photographs die?
Only Yesterday is a time-based, evolving artwork created by Monica Hamilton and designed by Brian Daley. Shaped by audience interactions, the project was developed in 2025 at the University of Connecticut.
With each visitor's click, a pixel set is removed from the photo. This work will continue until the image is entirely erased.
