Time Present and Time Past

Inspired by words from T.S. Eliot's 'Four Quartets', this movie explores different points in time within the cosmos. 'Time past', indicated by monochromatic nebulous swirls, gives way to 'time present', where order starts to prevail, and complex, colourful dynamic forms explode into space. Towards the end of the movie, images of past and present come together to form images of the future - for without past and present, the future could not exist.

Time Present and Time Past
