Gradations of Time over a Plane is an open-ended project focused on the study and reflection about Time, both as a symbolic dimension of reality and as an abstract concept relating to something which is non-material and that “precedes materiality”.

Guided by these notions, we have, since the spring of 2010, filmed and worked in various locations during different periods of observation, documentation, testing, and intervention, seeking out situations and places that reveal distinct temporalities.

This project is structured in chapters, reflections, and articulations derived from the experiences gained through fieldwork and the diverse materials collected during those moments. These chapters (currently 21, in various formats) correspond to different perceptions of the fluid nature of time and the interpretation of these ideas in relation to specific environments, cultural constructions, or induced fictional assemblages.

In order to develop an internal mapping of the work, a unique pictograph is devised for each chapter. The resulting expanding alphabet serves as a self-referential language, provoking new relations between the various parts of Gradations of Time over a Plane.
