What Time Travel feels like Sometimes

What does time travel feel like? You can read the curator’s notes about the show at SITE, here Erika Wanenmacher. I got this far – to reference the webpage – as I searched in March of 2025, to find the photos or the words I wrote about this show. I couldn’t find them, but I think I was skeptical that I felt time travel. And as I further, at a time in the future, search for these images and photos I wish so strongly that I could go back to the moment when I was at this show, seeing the pieces for the first time. I look at the date of this show and my drafts of this essay and I realize the celerity of doom spreading to me and every other person that I might have seen (or been) at this exhibition. This was not the curator’s intention, but I notice that my ability to talk and write about art is inhibited by some darkness. I am having a hard time seeing.
