Each video shows a duration of time and a specific single moment. I filmed the light changing from sunrise to sunset in an empty space for almost thirteen hours. I also filmed the performer wearing the shirt made of human hair, which unravels into the air, representing the invisible thoughts at the same space in a few seconds. I compressed the first video and expanded the second video and made both approximately one minute. So, I could compare “(the illusory nature of) Time” to “(each moment of the) Now.”
