Seeking a Meridian Galerie de Roussan, Paris 20 Sept – 23 Oct 2011 Exhibition publication with ficto-critical essay in French & English (2.6MB) Link to video, Ice Time Desire Seeking a Meridian examines the contradictions of the historical measurement of time, in contrast with its material reality and abstractions of temporal experience. In this critical moment of technological development and temporal human disembodiment this series seeks out the place of time, and its present relationship to matter and memory. Amid these contemporary questions of time, Seeking a Meridian revisits and retrieves specific histories, such as the global influence of French devices and conceptions of time measurement, the historical conjunction of this history within the lineage of French revolutionary politics, and the social impact of the temporal structuring of daily life across western civilisation.
