Deep Time Cinematography is a site-specific conceptual artwork by Jonathon Keats that will create a 10-frame zoetrope movie of the Hollywood Hills over the next 10,000 years. The work utilizes a handcrafted pinhole camera, installed on the third-floor escalator landing of BCAM, to capture 10 millennia-spanning portraits of Los Angeles's evolving landscape. Through its radical temporality, Deep Time Cinematography is Keats’s powerful call to the imagination and to action, raising the question: What can we do now to make sure this 10,000-year documentary is one that we would want future generations to see? Keats was the recipient of a LACMA Art + Technology Lab grant in 2015.
