A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator at SAVVY Contemporary - "Time is an essential element for me...today is a future yesterday and a past tomorrow. Merleau-Ponty wrote that the gaze is at the heart of time. We say that time passes, but that’s not true. It’s we who pass. Time is like a sign that only takes on meaning once it’s looked at: it’s us who creates time. Time is an obsession for me, and if we don’t create things for the future bearing in mind our finitude, there will be no future possible. Finitude is what defines the future. People who say “everything, now” are ignorant of this obvious fact. They are caught in the neurasthenia of the instinctual moment, the instinct of death. Finitude is knowing that things will come to an end. We do things so that they continue after us. It’s a more open attitude than “everything, now”, which implies: “after me, the flood”." from interview for Dak’Art Biennale, towards Universality (2018) with Simon Njami, Cameroonian-Swiss independent curator, lecturer, art critic and essayist
