So, I'm an artist. I live in New York, and I've been working in advertising for -- ever since I left school,
我是一名艺术家。我住在纽约,从事广告设计,从毕业开始我就一直做这行,
so about seven, eight years now, and it was draining. I worked a lot of late nights.
至今已经七、八年了,慢慢的感觉有点厌倦了。我熬了很多夜,
I worked a lot of weekends, and I found myself never having time for all the projects that I wanted to work on on my own.
在办公室度过了很多的周末,我发现自己一直没有时间来做我真正想做的个人项目。
And one day I was at work and I saw a talk by Stefan Sagmeister on TED,
有一天我在工作的时候看到了施德明在TED上的演讲,
and it was called "The power of time off," and he spoke about how every seven years,
主题叫“时间流逝的力量”,他提到他每过七年,
he takes a year off from work so he could do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired, and I just said,
就拿出一年时间来休假,抛开工作,做自己的富有创造力的项目,我的思路被他打开了,然后我说:
"I have to do that. I have to take a year off.
“我也要这么干,我要休一年的假。
I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family and start my own creative ideas."
我需要时间旅行,陪伴家人,开始自己的富有创造力的想法。”
So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day."
我的项目中,第一个项目的名字叫“每天一秒钟”。
Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life,
大意就是我每天都坚持给自己录一秒钟的视频,下半辈子一直坚持下去,
chronologically compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until,
慢慢的将这些一秒钟的视频拼接起来,将我的生活的片段拼接成一段连续的视频,
you know, I can't record them anymore.
直到我没有能力再录制这些视频为止。
