Standing Outside the Time
The human existence is occurred within the concept of the time; All events are happening in this concept. With this concept one can register the start and the end of any event. In fact time is the change.
What you are listening in this room is an invitation to understanding the complicated experience of people who were detached from daily life. They have experienced cells with no changes; with no timing system.
They were abandoned in their solitary; in a small room that its light remains the same in days and nights. They found their very own timing system. Events were voices that they could hear from distance: the sound of a door-opening, the sound of a passing one, the sound of a food-serving. These were their tools for recognizing time, for recognizing themselves.
