„… in an effort to gain more time, we lose them” – Byung Chul Han
This work deals with haste. A life (c)locked by the minute appears to be the least attractive to us, and yet it is exactly, what most of us are trying to manage. The philosopher Byung Chul Han writes: “Even perception today is unable to finish, for it rushes from one sensation to the next” in the chapter „Rituals of Closing“ of his book „of the disappearance of rituals“, published by Ullstein Verlag. So how is it possible to linger? Or asked differently: Where do we find, in a World spinning faster and faster, room for magic happening? The hands of the clock give the beat to a very idiosyncratic ritual. We ask the moment for its duration, instead of letting it last without question.
