Public video work
The person clothed at their activity, one minute, unedited. Part of every series.
The portrayed person's own statement belongs to every form of the work. A share of the proceeds goes directly to the person portrayed. Prices may be adjusted as the market, production costs and artistic career develop.
Where the works come from
Each series consists of three parts in a fixed order: eight analogue Polaroids, nude, during an activity that belongs to the person's life — an unedited one-minute video work, clothed, during the same activity — and a quote from the person portrayed.
The instant photographs are first scanned as a series and then, within twelve hours, deconstructed into unrepeatable individual pieces. What you buy does not exist a second time.
“Both representations are real. But they do not create the same person in our minds.”
— pete john, from the interview about the project

WORTH THE TIME. TWICE. portrays people who give old things new value: by repairing them, by upcycling them or by turning them into art. The real working process is filmed from a fixed camera position and condensed into one minute; eight Polaroids are made alongside.
“It is not new. It has become more.”
— pete john
The project is under way and the first works are being made. Works from it will appear here as soon as they are finished.
