Past, present, future. Always present, never grasped
or contained. Sleeping, waking, dreams, memories. What is the reality of time?
This video presents a series of musings in the
first person on the nature and experience of time. What are the ways in which
we construct and imagine time? Can we imagine time without distorting it?
The imagery is presented as live video, rescanned video and computer graphics:
clocks,
a metronome, dissolving sugar cubes, passing through bedrooms and hallways, bathroom
towels on a rack.
