Jonathon Keats has created an ambitious project -- one he won't be able to enjoy himself unless he freezes himself alongside Walt Disney and future scientists find a way to wake them both up safely. With carefully installed cameras, he'll be taking [ultraslow shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photojourney) to the next level. Jonathon Keats' images won't be able to be seen for a thousand years.

Of course, Jonathon Keats had to create a [special camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-camera-concept) to be able to withstand the difficulties time will throw at it. Replacing film with copper covered in layers of paint, the camera will eventually take a shadowy picture of change. Placed in Tempe, Arizona, Jonathan Keats says it represents "a relationship with a generation not yet born. The way in which in a city, the [urban development](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remembering-the-future) that we are responsible for affects them in every possible way—it affects them more than it affects us, yet they're the least empowered to do anything about it."
