Past and Becoming

These "virtual" sculptures were made by looking at different states of an object as it changed through time. A cloth fell and I took "snapshots" of it at different times. Converted them into chrome, because after I combined them, they'd refelct each other in unpredicably complex ways.

The 19-20th century philsopher Henri Bergson highlighted the fact that out present state and the future states that we will become inflected by "memories" of our past states. We are constantly becoming the past: the past is more real than the present.
