From Dead Time to Living Time No. 5 (2026)
NEGIN DANESHVAR-MALEVERGNE
digital print on 240g satin photo paper
27.5H x 19.6W in (70 x 50 cm)
There is a faintly perceptible link between the fluid nature of time and the conception that humans have and have had of time throughout their history. Le Temps Mort is a time frozen in the past, it has lost its elasticity, it is stagnating. The humans who cross it have lost the ability to invent; Tyrants or subjects of tyranny, they become more and more blurred, at the risk of disappearing, since they live in an imposed impasse or one that they themselves have chosen. Choosing Living Time, like the biblical red apple in the series of photos, is not a Temptation, a Forbidden, but the curiosity to know or the curiosity to live differently. This forbidden removed, Living Time, like the apple that has become green or possible, in the series, would be Life itself, reinvented - the desire to create a future, in an open space, which makes the Freedom to dream, to create and to build, not a temptation, a prohibition, but a Right.
