Clocks
2017-2020
A number of works that center around alternative understandings of time and temporal measurement--new clocks.
Progress is a forward march, drawing other kinds of time into its rhythms. Without that driving beat, we might notice other temporal patterns. Each living thing remakes the world through seasonal pulses of growth, lifetime reproductive patterns, and geographies of expansion. Within a given species, too, there are multiple time-making projects, as organisms enlist each other and coordinate in making landscapes.
- Anna Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World
