‘Time and the Other’ is the story of love and separation of a couple, viewed from the subjective angle of one of the lovers. That experience is expressed in the absence of the other. We never clearly see him, though he’s always there. His presence is obvious through his absence, through the traces left by his body.

‘Time and the Other’ includes three parts:
– ‘Embrace’ (7 inkjet prints from Super 8. films), texts and the 4’30” video .
– ‘Sleep’: 3 large inkjet prints from and a series of 4 prints & texts entitled ‘Diary of Sleep’ (taken from Super 8. films), and a 7′ video .
– ‘Lost Chords’: 7 paintings based on photographs and texts.
