[Reader-list] TIMEBOOK

[Kshmendra Kaul]

The visitor to the Art Gallery could not make head or tail of what was on display. Nor determine the position of either.
 
Not wanting to appear foolish, he gazed studiously at each piece. He himself became a standing Rodin piece, deep in thought, fingers strategically placed under chin, on cheek-bone and across his lips, anchoring the up-tilt of his head. That also helped him from nodding off.
 
Every now and then, he turned his eyes into slits, keenly peering through them as his head described the slightest of arcs in the air. Reverberating 'Hmmmmnnns' punctuated the dance.
 
Then abruptly he hissed out a more than loud "Interesting", turned and walked off.
 
The artist chastised the gallery attendant for not inviting the visitor to record his comments in the Guest Book

Timebook
by
Raqs Media Collective

Timebook is a vade mecum without words, a guide for all those  
perplexed by the way that the ground constantly shifts beneath their  
feet. It may be consulted by opening at random, and by reading the  
patterns made by heat and time as signs with which to navigate the  
elusive present.

The book is best "read" in double page PDF view.
