Market Review – You can’t step into the same river twice

“You can’t step into the same river twice.”
-Attributed to Heraclitus

After the Market and the Lange Nächte opened in November with Dinge in Raum and dance with Lisa McGuire. This coming Saturday the Lange Nächte Festival in Eckernförde is coming to a close. For that close, audiences are invited for a “Dazwischen” between “Break. Step 1/2” and Alpha Waves. With another consideration on Heraclitus, we continue to step again in Otte1 with ideas and even bus stops like from before. When one waits at bus stops the unexpected wait can cause ideas to flow.

After Heraclitus’s appearance at bus stops in Hanover, “After the Market” now invites guests to consider time as a process  and possible participant in our experience of art or in our lives: waiting, stepping, taking a break. And hopefully not only in that order.

For the bus stop shown here, the writer and artist Boris v. Brauchitsch asks viewers to question our absolute ideas about time. In his words: “If there is any further proof that time is not an absolute, not a uniform quantity, but a highly unreliably fluctuating continuum, bus stops would be ideal places to provide this proof. Time runs slower at bus stops, which can only be physically explained by the fact that bus stops are in stronger gravitational fields than the rest of the world.

After the Market ends November’s Lange Nächte with exchanges between steps.
