The Persistence of Memory. An empty beach with its fused sand. Here clock time is no longer valid. | HANNAH HOLMAN PHOTOGRAPHED BY KARIM SADLI

“The Persistence of Memory. An empty beach with its fused sand. Here clock time is no longer
valid. Even the embryo, symbol of secret growth and possibility, is drained and limp. These
images are the residues of a remembered moment of time. For Talbot the most disturbing
elements are the rectilinear sections of the beach and sea. The displacement of these two images
through time, and their marriage with his own continuum, has warped them into the rigid and
unyielding structures of his own consciousness. Later, walking along the overpass, he realized
that the rectilinear forms of his conscious reality were warped elements from some placid and
harmonious future.”
ATROCITY EXHIBITION, J.C Ballard.
