How long before the next great turn? Who will be here to witness it?
Physics. The Earth rotates on its axis at 1600 km/h. The speed at which the Sun moves around the Galaxy is about 792,000 km/h. The Milky Way spins at 270 km/s, and it takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution. That’s how fast we’ll be hurtling through space during the performance. — Anita Wach
We move in cycles – chasing, resisting, yielding. Bodies caught between force and restraint, testing the edges of their habits, the weight of inertia. Some push forward, faster, faster – others hold back, pulling against the current, one lingers at the edge of stillness, refusing the rush. Time is not given; it is measured in effort, stretched and bent by our will, a quiet defiance against the inevitable pull. Tangled in the gravity of our own desires, we trace invisible orbits, turning towards or away from something. How long before the next great shift? Who will be here to witness it? And does it matter if we keep moving? — Kristina Aleksova
