The slashing movement of mechanized wipes act as a magic wand morphing surfaces and hyphenating time and space. In these rythymic vanishing acts and nuptial comminglings presence and absence buoy on the surface of liquid relations. The world emerges with a new set of intermingled alloys gasping for breath but integral within an ideal confusion. (M.M.)House of Instants II: Time BeingProgramme running time: 69 min.’Blessed are the instants, the millimeters and the shadow of small things.’ (Fernando Pessoa from The Book of Disquiet)
