Because the way
we keep time
inspires how
we spend it

Time Well Spent

James Turrell:
Using Light To Keep Time

It is the Urban Jürgensen philosophy that the way we keep time inspires how we spend it. In our Time Well Spent series, brought to life by UJ’s Photography Director, Ellen von Unwerth, we look at what it means to use and spend time with passion, interest, joy, and meaning.

We find delight
in the details,
magic in the minute
