FUTURE
hasn't arrived yet, future doesn't exist
future is the work of imagination, future is recycled past, it is second hand
future is the blank space upon we project images/imaginations
future is the reincarnated past images, the ghosts that are haunting us
Karaoke + Phantasmagoria (Ghost Assembly - 'hauntology')
present moment is linked to both past and the future: present that is becoming past every moment + the repetition of older calendars (link to the past) and present that is trying to reach out to the future, send a message to the future (time capsule).
present moment is the starting point!!
present moment is the moment where nostalgia lives
past (fiction):
- referendum with alternative past scenarios for the future (secondhand future)
