Cindy Konits began recording herself with an obsolete professional instant camera and expired film after discovering it, unused, at the bottom of her studio closet. Its features enable slow, meditative self-portraits made in sunlight.

In these images she examines architecture as a holding environment that supports emotional and reflective thought, functioning as a container for the storage and recall of experience embedded in rooms, buildings and the physical features that define natural boundaries. Approaching the threshold of a room one is aware of being separate from it, but once inside the room disappears from conscious awareness, as self and architecture merge. The book invites readers to experience rooms inwardly and to sense the slow flow of time and memory.
