“… According to M. Serres the expression time is thought to derive from two Greek verbs (...) to cut and (...) to stretch. It is now the case that the mother of all the chaotic (fractal) attractors, the baker’s transformation, consists precisely in cutting, superimposing and stretching, gestures that recall those of a baker who kneads and re-kneads dough. Precisely like the essential nourishment time…”
Bruno Giorgini
A Stratification of coloured Plasticine that is formed over the course of a few months becomes detached from its support, is mixed and spread out in the same place, on the same surface where it was created.
Over time, the substance sediments. Suddenly I find myself in front of it. I hold it and turn it over. I cut it, section it, knead it. The experience is amalgamated and forms a new substance.
