The Speed of Life

 
 

This video work explores our perceptions of time.


Our mortality

makes us think of a time as a straight line,

or it is time running in circles,

cyclic like a clock

or the mythical ouroburos

with no beginning or end?


When do we start thinking of time as a commodity that will end?


Time’s    up

    life    time                   down    time

time    limits


Einstein’s Theory of Relativity…


so many possible ways to think of time.


Where are we going and how fast do we need to go to get there? 

Or is it really necessary to go anywhere at all?
