TIME MACHINE: PERCEPTION, MEMORY AND TRANSITS BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE

Philosophers and anthropologists have always questioned the importance and randomness of the perception of the passage of time: a flow that builds the sense of collective and individual experience, while physicists disagree, for whom, with the advent of physics quantum, the passage of time has an illusory character. TIME MACHINE is a journey into the “Time of the mind”, in that infinite and visionary space where each of us travels between past and future and experiences time as a flow, as something concrete to be preserved or reconquered in the nostalgic recerche du temps perdu (search for lost temps).

Les enfants terribles

The event will be set-up in the prestigious halls of the Bastione San Giacomo in Brindisi, a castle built in the 16th century by the Aragonese. The coats of arms of Emperor Charles V and his military architect Ferdinando de Alarcon are still visible on the south-west facade.
