Worlds: The 5th Dimensional Camera

According to the many-worlds theory, first posited by Hugh Everett in 1957, although we observe time as linear, diverging timelines occur in parallel worlds, with each possible outcome having a different probability. The 5th Dimensional Camera explores how we might see all these different worlds at the same time, in a metaphorical many-lensed object. All the possible ramifications of any decision or action or day would theoretically be visible, thus visualizing all the worlds that branch out from our linear timeline; the longer the period for which the camera's timer is set, the more time there is for new worlds to branch out from our own and, in turn, the more novel some of those worlds are likely to be.
