EVER AGAIN
What if time was not linear? How would a room look? If time had the shape of a cone, running through the space in an endless loop, how could our brain adjust to this idea, and how would the surrounding environment change?
Forms, shapes and matter would change, a geometry might occur. Ever Again deals with intertwined loops of a space, both virtual and physical, about the possibility of an alternative world, reorganised by a non-linear structure but loops. The exhibition space itself is part of the loop as it will soon be transformed into something else. With its setting at the airport in the rural outskirts of Copenhagen, it is part of a larger system of circulation, traffic, industry, and private usage. For Ever Again, it transforms for a moment to a different past, merged with other spaces. A fictional layer builds upon the physical space, from more personal to more general stories, movements of collapse, circles of crisis and decay
