‘In many ways, this book is about time and its intrinsic relationship to photography, but it is also about the poetic mystery of time. Time courses through us, like a heat wave in a vortex. It is a warm kind of whiplash, as life flashes before our eyes. The temperature of time is off the charts. But, paradoxically, time is also colder than mortality—it is distant and cosmic. Time is unrecognizable and outside the human lexicon. Nina Simone once said that “time is a dictator.” It is true that time has an autocratic rule over us. We have invented a metered existence in order to bear witness to the weight of being, which is heavier than anything tangible.
The last train home, the early afternoon matinee, a traffic light, a dinner reservation, we are all navigating the composition of time. Time is of the essence. Time—from the Latin word tempus—the root temp, meaning to pull, stretch, or string. Our pulse beats to an involuntary rhythm—our heart a dancer without music. ‘
Oliver Kupper.
The book is an opinion, a study of time, a time before covid, a journey through a negotiation of space, about the uncertainty of these rhythms within the city, of these competing unfixed narratives, sometimes unclear, sometimes obvious, at times, a shifting messy experience.
