can i forget the rising sun

This is a short work about time – and not the linear time that we think we experience. A different kind of time. A more ‘real’ kind of time. A time that is felt, a time that is seen, a time that is witnessed. This time is seen, through the window of an apartment, from the eyes of a person – a lonely person who watches as time – their time – passes, day by day, rising and falling. While they are immobile the world goes by; time goes by. Snippets of this world are remixed and reiterated in a glitching, garbled storm of passionate ire, seething and writhing against itself with a miserly yet arrestingly self-aware introspection. It is a portrait of angst; internal, eternal angst. Angst about time – lack of it, or lack of harnessing it, and the fear of running out of it.
