Jamie Livingston had a Spidey sense for when to take a photo; a new oratorio featuring his one-Polaroid-a-day habit opens at PAC NYC, Sarah Larson writes.
The picture was taken by Van Taylor’s late friend Jamie Livingston, a Manhattan cinematographer who took a Polaroid every day, from when he was a senior at Bard College, in 1979, until 1997, when he died, of cancer, on his forty-first birthday. He took only one each day—“He had kind of a Spidey sense for the right moment”—and stored the results, dated, in suitcases and a grapefruit box.
The images have been featured in an exhibition, a book, and daily posts on Instagram; now, in April, they’ll be sung about, in Van Taylor’s new work, “Number Our Days: A Photographic Oratorio,” at PAC NYC, at the World Trade Center, with music by Luna Pearl Woolf. The performance features Polaroid-shaped screens with projections, the countertenor John Holiday, and three choirs and an orchestra from Trinity Wall Street Choir.
