Noah Kalina's new project on YouTube features a collection of ambient landscape videos that invite viewers to experience nature through visual tranquility. His Everyday series, which has captured daily self-portraits for over 25 years, complements this new endeavor. The videos, referred to as moving wallpaper, showcase serene scenes in upstate New York, such as clouds drifting over mountains and still moments by a river. This project provides a respite from daily life and allows viewers to immerse themselves in peaceful natural environments.
Kalina's new project is similarly contemplative and durational, although it widens its lens. On the new KALINA YouTube channel, he's shared a collection of ambient videos documenting landscapes as they are.
You can watch the clouds hover above Andes, New York, spend two hours observing a black walnut tree, or head down by the river, where, as he says, nothing happens.
Referring to the videos as moving wallpaper, Kalina transports us to lush upstate New York and gives us permission to press play and walk away.
The series recently passed 25 years, meaning it's amassed a visual record nearing 10,000 images.
