A conversation with Samara Lubelski
We asked Samara Lubelski about the five parts of a day on planet Earth. Her responses included cherry orchards, nightclubbing, noir films and the invisible line between dreams and expectations.
Try to forge the hours into constructions — a semblance of progression. Slowly, with the day’s descent, the loosely held controls pass to the forces of night.
Morning
Coffee and cigarettes.
Daytime
Walking in the cherry tree orchard in South Germany. Sun dappled beauty. The essence of time in momentary stillness.
Evening
Playing music with the groups.
Twilight
Group bike riding in NYC. Someone was playing Kraftwerk’s Radio Activity on portable speakers. Everything got very quiet and present.
Nighttime
Teenage nightclubbing in NYC. No carding, no entry fee — a flowing show of great gigs and weirdos on display.
Morning
Trying to ride the invisible line between the world of dreams and the world of expectations.
Nighttime
The realization that the line has not held.
Nighttime
Emerald green. The sea of sleep.
Twilight
Misty pink. The soft cushion of descent.
Evening
Shades of grey. Shifting of the gears.
Daytime
Mod orange. Snap in for the ride.
Morning
Hues of beige and yellow. Prepare for reentry.
Thank you.
