| In the early days of the pandemic, I watched a lot of time-lapse videos on YouTube. If Covid made familiar things (like groceries and hugs) suddenly strange, watching these videos was like a free fall into strangeness, but one I could control. They gave me the feeling of moving (temporarily) outside time; more precisely, they helped me understand that time and space, which contain us, simultaneously contain things, each with their own rhythms—the world is far vaster than we can perceive. Somehow, I found this consoling! |
