MATER, Katja
Time is an Arrow, Error

“Two clock-faces are staring at each other.
They are two sides of one thing, as different as they are the same.
They move as two bodies revolving around each other, into a tender embrace.
A kiss, made of time, in time.
Mirrored shape shifters, their hour-numbers climbing on each other’s shoulders.
Running up against the limits of their own usefulness, clocklikeness.”
—Katja Mater
