During the summer of 2013, having lived in San Francisco for a few months, I started roaming the streets of the city, collecting numbers hidden in plain sight and sharing them online, one everyday, for a hundred days.
I went on an adventure on which I would be able to look back and say: “remember that time I took photos of 100 numbers?” There is a beauty in the ephemerality of the process, sharing a slice people's lives by bumping an ever increasing counter and then disappearing.
Over time, each photo was accompanied by a short anecdote related to the city and the number, and under the lack of meaning of cataloguing numbers emerged the history of San Francisco.

Folding paper becomes folding oneself, being mindful yet acting mindless.
Paper is meditation.
