About 18:18:18

Curated by Joel Silverman, 18:18:18 (2018) by Jason Francisco is a series of eighteen time-based works that exist between cinema and photography, each filmed in a single take at one of roughly 50,000 sites of the Jewish Holocaust. Each piece lasts exactly 18 minutes, 18 seconds, and 18 milliseconds—a duration tied to the Jewish number chai, meaning “life”—and is presented on two opposing screens that cannot be viewed simultaneously, mirroring how Jewish memory in former shtetls across Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Ukraine is often glimpsed only over one’s shoulder.
