KAIROS
(Ancient Greek: καιρός, “the right, critical, or opportune moment”. In modern Greek, kairos also means “weather”. )
Greeks had two words to make sense of time.
One is well known, Chronos stands for the chronological sequences of events, linear occuring of things after the other.
While Kairos is more about causality. There is no scale or order to it, it is an endless web of interactions and reactions. In this web of encounters, we need a more native way of processing to navigate. Usually we navigate and decide based on logical concepts, but the more options and relations you have the harder it becomes to find the right drawer.
Kairos and Aporia are two halfs of an installation that i made for the exhibition titled,
From There Through Here which was organized by the students of the
Art & Science Department of die Angewandte.
Both my works connect with the idea of time as a flexible matter.
My installations are constrcution sites of concepts of time.
They offer opportunities and ways to rethink and re-sense what time might mean to one.
The two mounts are built from discarded construction site materials. However one has a door from When we are close enough our presence triggers the ultrasonic sensor and quickly slows down the slideshow to a full stop.
Presenting you with a random image of a huge pool of photos consisting of my encounters with reality from the past 7-8 years.
This slideshow is an introduction to the overwhelming realm of Kairos where our only ways to navigate is our emotions and senses. Without wanting to make sense, allowing our body to react to it. Because you leave most moments with things that you brought into them.
