As Time Swallows Time
Director: Rosario Hurtado, Roberto Feo, Stuart Bannocks
Year: 2025
AS TIME SWALLOWS TIME weaves fragmented narratives into a poetic dialogue between two entwined inquiries. The first engages with the curatorial focus of BIO28 (Ljubljana Design Biennale), which interrogates the historical symbolism linking women to flowers - figures of fragility, sensuality, and objectification - and the ways these associations have been reclaimed and subverted. The second unfolds as a speculative exploration of time and temporal perception as forces shaping human consciousness and evolution. Together, these threads compose a meditation on transformation, perception, and the cyclical nature of existence. Constructed through the juxtaposition of narrative fragments, the film layers scenes in a manner that invites viewers to navigate and reassemble its temporal and conceptual terrain. The film presents a dialogue between the Ljubljana Biennale’s curatorial theme, “Do You Speak Flower?” which explores the historical contexts in which women have been symbolically linked to flowers—figures of fragility, sensuality, and objectification—and how those associations have been reclaimed and subverted, and this theme directly, and the authors speculative exploration of time, temporal perception and post humanity.
