The installation ‘Mo(NU)mentum’ is made up of several layers of history, creating a massive pillar. The drill core is like a sample of time, taken from the earth in the future to understand how the world evolved. Starting with a massive block of stone, in which the different geological layers are visible, the drill core contains samples of wood, copper, metal, bricks, concrete, asphalt, tar and plastic. The layers become thinner and thinner the closer they get to the present (= the plastic layer) translating the excellerating speed of new eras and matching inventions. So far the materials created a foundation for the next, but the plastic layer is so thin and vulnerable that it is impossible to continue from there. It is a final moment in present evolution.
