He passes you at a brisk pace, and the past seems to overtake the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast - present - future, the relationship between the three cannot be understood within their historical hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of the moment right now as the future imagined in the past, or as the past that caught up with the future,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003einstant by instant, the present becomes the past as it ships off in time; for a moment the future settles as the present, before being consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the wishful terminology included in the future is lost completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast, present, future - when considering the relationship between the three, the space we live our present moment in is enlarged into a wide area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThinking deeply, calmly, about the many various factors that unfold on the Berlin stage, there emerges a Story of Process, one that knows no protagonist, with no beginning, with no end - suddenly, it comes to a stop:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerlin?

By transcending the time axis in this manner, the possibility arises to delve into and grasp at the things embedded in their relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI set out to attempt to employ this methodology more globally, expand it to problems affecting all areas of life, to allow people to rethink their individual perception of the world in a new way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Humble Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58378607493503,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/9258\/0517\/files\/IMG_7784.jpg?v=1788738337","url":"https:\/\/www.humblebooks.co.uk\/products\/toshitsugu-yamawakiberlin-deep-in-thought","provider":"Humble Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
