Retention
I am an artist and I am a doctor. During quarantine I worked in special hospital for covid-19. I spend hundreds of hours on duty watching black fence-mirror around my hospital. One day I started taking pictures of him, and this lasts all these months.
In concept of temporality, the present is perceived not as a moment, but as a duration of the order of experience, that called retention. My photos of this fence was my only visual experience for that time, and the looped sequence oh the study has generated the unification of the retentive tails in the general order to experience. Erasing the boundaries of retention and reduction, there arises the
longest possible present and the phenomenon of frozen time. But as soon as I leave, retention shrinks to a point, and perception-time gets inverserly proportional acceleration.
The phenomenon of the curvature of space-time, when approaching black matter, refers to the relativistic theory: the hospital fence becomes the event horizon of my perception of time.
