Time
The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole
Although present-day timepieces show time with almost inconceivable precision, our perception of seconds and minutes ticking by remains highly subjective, especially since Einstein’s relativity
model has made it possible to think about physical phenomena as not necessarily determined on the
time axis. The Gray Section comprises works in which Moudov explores the elasticity of time and the relativity of measurments. Many of the works produce the effect of a time warp. Consequently, time as a quantity determined by interdependent events and treated as a comprehensible unity disintegrates. Understanding and interpreting time becomes entirely dependent on the perceptions of the viewer.
