Right Now

Right Now is a book of 365 stories inspired by the chronological events of an e-mail archive. A 10-year span in the artist’s life is distilled into a single new year--days, months and years are blurred into a pastiche of deconstructed personal histories, episodic memory. Cameron uses our perception of time as a device to formulate themes of permanence, change and nostalgia. In Right Now, the past is reiterated into the present creating an examination of readers’ tenuous relationship to memory and time.
