Art: onethirtyfive at Umber Studios

Umber Studios' final event before the gallery is shut down and turned into a boutique hotel fittingly offers a retrospective of the past year. This daily collaborative project by photographer Louisa Podlich and writer Christian Dahlager employed a simple concept: one photo and 35 words, every day for 365 days. What started as a challenge became a conversation between the two, in which Podlich set the scene and introduced the characters, and Dahlager narrated. The results are dreamy, evocative middle-of-the-story snippets into two artists' lives. Despite the project's hand-touched, handwritten feel, it's definitely a project of the times: Over the past year, curious onlookers could follow the process daily via a Tumblr page.
