Flow of Time

20090120-1 - Flow of Time


How we read pictures, whether we know it or not, is often the result of a combination of factors. Of course, a prominent one is our own personality, the essence of who we are, regardless of our upbringing and all of the other common associations gravitating around our culture. But our own culture, its language (spoken and also its wider context) and the set of beliefs we adopted from it still has a great part in it, sometimes so deeply embedded that we won’t notice it.

This latest picture was the occasion for me to remember that simple fact.
When one attempts to interpret —to make sense of— a picture entitled “Flow of Time” (I was aware during the making of the picture that it wanted to deal partially with time even without having named it yet), one cannot avoid dealing with setting the picture in one’s own cultural background of reference.

In Western cultures, we have tenses: past, present and future (a minima). And usually, if we are asked what is the flow of time, we are prone to draw it from left to right. After all, it’s only natural, since we write that way, and the flow of a text (unless we are Leonardo) naturally follows this direction, from its past to its future.
