The Refusal of Time is an installation. Five films are projected on three walls of an industrial space near the Kassel train station. A large wooden structure with moving parts—it resembles something like an accordion and an oil rig combined—occupies the center of the room; this is the “breathing machine (elephant).” Intermittent sounds of Kentridge speaking and music (most memorably tubas and singing) are transmitted through silver megaphones, one at each corner, each with a different soundtrack.
I was only able to watch the first 15 mins of the films because of the time limit.
I quite enjoyed the films and the atmosphere created by Kentridge!
Reflection: What is time? And how can one oppose its enforced standardization?
The idea of time zone and world segments!
