IRRATIONAL TIMES

IRRATIONAL TIMES : A reflection of contemporary reality, not only for the present, but also as an archive for the future. Fragments of a world slightly out of balance.

I'm afraid the easier part of my life is behind me. The world has definitely changed and is much more unpredictable and is all the more dramatic for it. It's time to think about what if a new war or some conflict were to start, what to do next with our irrational fears. When I reached this point, I started to think about how I could be of useful. I still hadn't figured it out, of course, but I felt less anxious about the world. Anyone who has fears right now is justified in feeling that way.

Each time society is restructured, we face frustration, and the preceding transformation is remembered only in fragments, is preserved only in bits and pieces due to the hysteria of the present moment. Caught in rapid societal change, people often struggle to see facts and connections that later seem obvious. Looking back, we wonder why we didn’t foresee key developments. In retrospect, we often ask ourselves why we could not have predicted relevant events to at least at some degree.

Through its images, it reveals familiar patterns, absurd routines, compromises, odd habits, and our tendency to support systems we sometimes question. It  offers a way to understand our choices and encourages us to reflect on our actions now, before they are forgotten.
