| ZEIT translates TIME.
"Original pages of newspapers from different countries were collected from July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000; one page for each day, cut to book size, so the respective dates appear in the upper corners. All pages together embrace the length of a year and document the transition into a new millennium. A text passage from Borges' 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' about the topic time is printed onto the endpapers." (p. 236) "The random imagery and variety of languages that become juxtaposed in the codex format give the strange sensation that pieces are missing, that it is impossible to experience time in a truly linear fashion. For what else is time but our experience and then our memory of it?" (p. 128) (from the catalogue) |
