What does time mean to you? Is it material or abstract for you? When looking at what or thinking about what you feel its run? Is it frozen for you or is it crawling like a turtle? “Tick,” says the hour hand, “tack,” the minute answers. What did you manage to do between these “tick” and “tack”? Tick … I’ll try to catch up as soon as possible and remember what I need to do … Tack …
These are reflections on what do we do with our time, by whom and how we fill it, what we spend it on and whether we can, in principle, control it. Does our time belong to us and do we really run out of time, or something else? We are ready to believe in the value of an antique chair without noticing the beauty of unfinished embroidery. We are ready to devote our time to people who pay us for the work, not finding it for those who really love us. What is valuable and significant for us?
We are trying to outwit, speed up, slow down time. Are we trying to give our time to someone? Or maybe someone is trying to steal it from us?
Time becomes material through associations. Anything can be a thread in time. It can be anything, from a small piece of paper with your story to the pieces of clothing that you were wearing at a significant moment for you, old watches, interior items or larger things. These may be the ghosts of those associations over time that are no longer with you.
This room is alive and the time here speaks through emotions, memories, associations, stories. Over time, everything here is constantly changing – updated, added, disappeared.
And you can fill this project with your energy, presenting your association, bringing something from your time – past or present or just telling the story. Or maybe taking something for the future.
Look around and notice the time around. Look inside yourself and feel the time in yourself.
You will change your attitude to time, I don’t know how and when, and how much time will be needed.
You have it. Waiting for you. Tick … tack…
