Exhibition Label: "Time/Frame," Jun-2008, Robert Fucci, Shuyun Ho, Lauren Kernes, Lara Kuykendall, Ellen C. Raimond, and Stephanie Teasley What does it mean to move through time? Is it possible to skip forward and backward? Is time travel a state of memory or of physical presence? This photograph, with its velvety ink and chalk markings, enigmatically evokes the past. The arrows indicate a relationship between the antique clock and the portrait photograph, while the title, Time Machine, makes one wonder if this is a preliminary sketch for a contraption that might lead us back to another era.
