The Pass_age of Time
According to presentationism, the only real things are existing in the present. Everything what was in the past or what will be in the future is non-existing. I cannot change the past, I can change the present partially but I have only impact to the future. My present is a very narrow window frame or rather a blind window, on which some memories and desires are arranged into a new shape from time to time. The past and the present are a by-product of the human time perception, that helps our orientation. To carry a form from the past into the present equals with the act of remembrance. A fragment of the past that is meant to remind us of the past in the present, so we can say that it’s a romantic endeavor. The old objects function as signs in the present. Signs of the passage of time, they are reminding us that the present soon will become the past and, if we are lucky, our present desires will become our future self.

Our manias appear again and again in our habits and actions. Developed and cyclically repeated routine-like situations that, while they barely lead to a new outcome, become a peculiar ornamentation of our lives. In fact, our repeated mistakes, weaknesses and anxieties shape our boundaries, the effort to unite our own fragmanted selves. We are made of motifs, rhymes and repetitions, similar to a poem or a song, where each line begins the same way. This is how we constantlz refer back toourselves, drawing our outlines for the world to see and to remind ourselves of our grafmentation and the lack of our completeness. Quite many times we are attached to our fragmentation, in which we have invested time through repetition. When we talk about time, we immediately find ourselves closer to philosophy, and when we talk about space, we are closer to physics. Transforming repetition in time into space means repeating, spliitting and rearranging a shape. In a visual sense this is ornamentation. Everything which is broken, missing or forgotten we try to reunite, revive and make it to a new unity through the act of repetition. Repetition is the emphasis of the deficit.
