...just a moment
…just a moment considers how mundane, everyday materials and objects measure and materialize time. Borrowing Henri Lefebvre’s lens of everyday life, Tim Edensor’s argument of everyday life performance, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s and Elizabeth Chin’s analysis of objects, this exhibition and treatise explore how one perceives and experiences time through things. Each object and material in the exhibition, whether natural or man-made, indicates contemplation through its physical changes, transformations, existence and interaction in time with humans. Everyone passes time with pastimes.
