In response of the theme ‘Time’ I want to examine the idea of backwards fictive time. Starting with a finished product - pancakes, I went back in time and and separated the main ingredients from the them: milk, egg and flour. Then viewer transfer to the past of those products and observe the chain of events and objects, which form the products. In the case with a cow we find out the way of the production of this cow - the love of two cows. The egg is made by chicken, but this chicken made an egg alone. And the last chain goes from the flour to the wheat. After taking out from the pancakes all those chains of objects and events - pancakes loose everything and only a silhouette of them can be observed until they eventually disappearing as they have never existed. 

In this animation I explored relationship between an object, time and place. I was thinking about what amount of time and events do we need to form an object and what if we take from the object a chain of events, which predetermined it. 

As an reference to the theme of the week I want to introduce the music clip of Bonobo - “Shadows” (feat Jordan Rokei) https://youtu.be/sOJR4Ao2eJ4. This is a great example of playing with time and abstracting time. We can see the collages of captured time, where the motions are looping or the same events are captured in different moments of time. The abstract time and narrative in this peace provide the feeling of daydreaming. The memories are looping, a person is recalling memories, which intersect with each other and combine.
