One Year Performance: A Self-Portrait Every Hour, On The Hour

“For one year, from April 11, 1980 through April 11, 1981, [Sam] Hsieh punched a time clock every hour on the hour. Each time he punched the clock, he took a single picture of himself, which together yield a 6 minute movie. He shaved his head before the piece, so his growing hair reflects the passage of time.”
