Phantasmaˈgorical - Peddling Time at the World Village Festival 2016 together with performance artist Willem Wilhelmus. Peddling Timereferences the loss of localized meaning in our everyday world, as everything around us speeds up we become addicted to this roadrunner culture, cramming more and more into every minute, creating ‘Time poverty’ and a disassociation with our immediate surroundings and world events that shape them.
Together with the participating public we created a per-formative social sculpture, creating a space to experience time were one is invited to slow down, to physically and mentally interact and reconnect with place and time.
To understand how a sense of place becomes bound up with a person’s social and individual identity, we need to treat time and place, not as a stage for social activity but as a ‘product’ of it, where meaningful action and shared understanding is possible.
