24 photography exhibition 2026 – in pictures

Twenty-three years ago, a collective of 24 photographers embarked on an ambitious project to document New Year's Day for 24 consecutive years, with this year's exhibition running for 24 days from 21 February to 16 March 2026 in Soho Square, London. Each photographer in the collective has been assigned one specific hour to document New Year's Day, with the time slot advancing by one hour each year. This unique approach has created a cumulative, time-shifting narrative that captures the transition from one year to the next through multiple artistic perspectives. The project represents an extraordinary commitment to long-term artistic documentation, with each artist contributing to a collective visual chronicle of how New Year's Day unfolds across different times and locations. The exhibition offers viewers a rare opportunity to experience the passage of time through photographic art, with each image representing a precise moment in the annual transition. The project's longevity itself becomes a subject of exploration, as the photographers have maintained their commitment for over two decades.
