The Hidden Time

Manja Kindt and Jan Pieter van den Bos work on several projects alongside their own art practice under the name The Hidden Time.

Time is an ongoing thing. People have divided time for practical use into hours, days,weeks, years and so on to organise life. But that is not the real time. Real actual time is the time that is free, that is always continuous and not reversible. Then you are talking about millions of years, about eternity. You could say that this is the time that plays no role in your pursuits, it is the hidden time that moves forward, that has no clock, and that gives space to new ideas.

We create a sanctuary in the landscape, a sanctuary not in the time of the clock but we want to move through this "free" time and experience what influence the landscape has on us. All this is captured in drawings, photo, video, sound and smell.
