Our Time

What makes modern societies tick? Who owns our lifetime? Is efficiency good for luck? What is the rhythm of life? Is the Accelerating economic development dynamics still healthy for us? What are the wishes and desires of modern People in terms of time, money and work? Our Time is concerned with these and countless other questions and tries this in an artistic, philosophical way to process and interpret it visually in a suitable form. Essentially, the work deals with four contradictory aspects of time with the development of modern working environments and social structures accompanied. Using abstract sketches and visual worlds to describe the effects between time and money, between of course and artificially, between outside and internal time, between acceleration and standstill and between efficiency and waste.

The artistic interpretations of the above-mentioned time aspects were shown on 50 time cards and supplemented with philosophical texts. The accompanying artistic texts can be found in a 138-page book.
