An ode to the 1955 exhibition “The Family of Man” by legendary curator Edward Steichen for the MoMA, The World Today uses the blockchain to create a permanent record of our world, rich in metadata connections that further develop and cross-reference the stories within, resulting in a complex net of properties and rarities including 138 curated grails, 1 from each artist.

TWT expanded the frontier of possibilities for photography in the web3 era, and is responsible for onboarding dozens world-class photographers to NFTs.

The World Today

Blossom eating an apple after giving birth to her calf.

Ellipsis traces a month-long, intuitive chapter of image-making for photographer Amy Woodward. The result is a meandering body of work spanning multiple subjects: the desolation and loss caused by a historic flood, journal-like notes of chance encounters, the natural world of plants and animals, as well as an extension of Woodward’s long-form practice with mother subjects and their changing families. 

A background hum of quiet magic pervades the work as it orbits symbols of fragility, ruin & renewal, fertility, alongside the privacy and shelter of domestic settings. Lifecycles in the natural world layer onto scenes of human experience and emotion, forming a palimpsest connecting the two inseparably. 

Ellipsis punctuates the thoughtful spaces between the sequence of images, but also alludes that the photos themselves may be the true spaces between the workings of a world that is moving at an untraceable pace.
