Now Here
“Now Here” evokes the uncanny uneasiness of the here-and-now being, thus reminding the viewer of the Heideggerian notion of Dasein, the there-being. This uneasy feeling is taken a step further with the title towards the field of semantics, a title which is not only hinting at the space and the spirit intertwined with each other as in a DNA spiral, but revealing the endless tension of the being which is capable of infinitely folding in on itself.

entry description
In “Now here” we find the complexity of the personality expressed as a strong surface tension emerging between the continues layers of reality. “Being here” is “being in now” - We can conceptualize “Now Here” as an epiphany which reveals the truth about our partly fictional being within space-time as one without coordinates.“Now Here” evokes the uncanny uneasiness of the here-and-now being, thus reminding the viewer of the Heideggerian notion of Dasein, the there-being. This uneasy feeling is taken a step further with the title towards the field of semantics, a title which is not only hinting at the space and the spirit intertwined with each other as in a DNA spiral, but revealing the endless tension of the being which is capable of infinitely folding in on itself.
