Timelock

Timelock is a video created on a reflection based on one of the greatest writings of Marcel Proust “In Search of Lost Time.” A subsidiary question of ambition and philosophical literary work: It’s possible to guess what the time is made to try to escape from it? An attempt is always a reason to escape the running time, but often we remain trapped, locked. Measure things to get them under control, the time is no exception to this rule. The metronome is thus a key to interpret the time and re-create it artificially in a sequence represented by the same succession of metronomes and their sounds that follow one another in sequential order with a hypnotic rhythm. The apparent chaos of sounds provides a hope: seeking refuge in the depths of our mind to escape from the intrusiveness of the sound presses. You will enter into an inner world built on the contrast time lost-time regained, through involuntary memory and the sudden memory associated with it.
