Constance DeJong Time’s Wander Lower Level November 7 - December 19, 2026
Constance DeJong wrote to me that “time is different kinds. . . light years and microns for example” and I would posit that they are different because our bodily selves are a rather inelastic measure. It is hard to expand, to become ethereal–and then to, in the next breath, be pulverized.
The cultural critic Rebecca Solnit wrote a very good book about Edweard Muybridge some years back in which she tells the story of how the railroad, and then the camera, collapsed our sense of space and time from the heliocentric to the mechanistic. This shoe might have been a size too small from the jump but the reduction was notably self-centering.
