Images & Review for 'Eternal Return'



"Artist Statement – “Eternal return is a concept posed by Nietzsche, which suggests that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur, ad infinitum. The story goes like this: at a lonely and solitary moment in your life you are confronted by a demon that informs you that your life will be repeated exactly as it has occurred, to the smallest of details. Nietzsche says the reaction to this news is indicative of one’s attitude toward life. Subsequently, every deed and moment carries an unforeseeable amount of weight, and every decision presses upon the rib cage. Life continues as a balance between paralysis, or the unwillingness to act, and the weightlessness of freedom from accountability. Time, instead of being linear and finite, is cyclical and endless." - Kasia Sosnowksi
