Description

The work consists of six square boards on which the prepositions przed (“before”), po (“after”), and za (“behind”) are repeatedly written. Each preposition appears separately on one board in multiple repetitions; on the subsequent boards, their combinations are multiplied: przed po (“before after”), po przed (“after before”), przed za (“before behind”), and za przed (“behind before”). The resulting sequences suggest an infinite series of prepositions receding or advancing in space and/or time. This is another work that addresses the theme of the infinity of space and time, whose visualisation in the human mind exceeds the limits of imagination. A similar issue was explored, for example, in the works beginend and from here to here.
