Surface as Pause

Mika Tajima — Negative Entropy

The surface holds stillness.

Movement suspends.

Time slows.

What slows?
Surface is often active, yet movement suspends. Time stretches without stopping. What continues is stillness held momentarily.

Surface is often active, yet movement suspends.

Change does not accumulate, but it does not disappear.

Time stretches without stopping, held within the surface itself.

What continues is stillness held without resolution.
