Need an Escape? Tune Into Noah Kalina’s Ambient Landscapes Where Almost Nothing Happens

If you, like us, are in desperate need of some outdoor time but are instead caught up in emails, meetings, and distressing news alerts, we have a salve to hold you over for at least an hour or two.

New York-based photographer Noah Kalina is known for expansive projects that test commitment and attention. His Everyday series, for example, involves Kalina capturing a daily self-portrait. While the concept of recurring projects like this isn’t novel, Everyday stands out for its longevity: the series recently passed 25 years, meaning it’s amassed a visual record nearing 10,000 images.

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.”
