Not Yet and No Longer 2008-2009.
series of videos with a duration of around 30 minutes.

He, who forgets the past to speculate the future, allows the expectations to be the memories that define the present. He, who states the future to remember the past, allows the memories to be the expectations that define the present. When he, who is recollecting, he is forgetting. When he, who is expecting, he is recollecting. The memories remain in the trace of the past but the past, which defines the memories, is no longer. The expectations speculate in the trace of the future but the future, which defines the expectations, is not yet. To be the trace is to be in the present, and if the trace is present than the memories and the expectations are in the present. The present is the relation. The present is the relationship between two systems that come alive in the third one, in the relation. The relation disturbs but also creates, the present defines but also disturbs. The present is. The memories and the expectation are not. The visible image is, the moving image is no longer or not yet.
