"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable."
The first lines of T. S. Eliot's poem Burnt Norton, from Four Quartets, 1936.

Eliot translator Soji Iwasaki states that the concept of time in Four Quartets is no doubt informed by Henri Bergson's 1889 Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience (Essay on Time and Free Will) and it's "pure duration" theory of time and consciousness — I.e. a concept of time as experienced in consciousness: a continuous, qualitative, and indivisible flow, rather than the fragmented, quantitative, and spatialized incrementalism of science — and an Augustian understanding of man's flawed interpretation of "three times" from Confessiones (circa 397~400CE) — that a present of things past, a present of things present, a present of things future are three temporal apprehensions of a single phenomenon.
This work was therein inspired to explore themes of cyclical time and the "intersection of timelessness and time," something both unreachable yet potentially perceivable. Using paper fascimile of objects, objects themselves, and video footage, I created an immersive landscape installation encompassing what should be past and present times, to be experienced by one single participant at a time. Drawing from a rainy landscape, memory, a fantasy inspired by that landscape, and fragmented images, multiple monitors to integrate images of multiple time periods into a single plane. The rain continues unabated, in the sound of rain hitting an umbrella emits from directional speakers, and the viewing position, the projected background, and a mise en scène of polystyrene rocks and monitors among them, display a range of images, from rainy night scenes to clear skies after rain, trees swaying in the wind, footage of a snowy day, and the moon hidden by clouds. The monitor, blends in with the faux rocks, is tasked with recalling the exterior world to the viewer. An owl appears from time to time, a sleeping owl which wakes to gaze at the viewer. The external recall becomes passive. Although the images are played on a loop, they constitute a single sequence, from the rain to the moon, and the length of the candle indicates the elapsed time of the entire video.
