Deep Time

Standing on 700 million year old fossils, called stromatolites, Christina Fredengren explores perceptions about time. She explains how time is often perceived in a linear way, with the past behind us, the present t a point where we stand and the future ahead of us. She contrasts this perception with the archaeological and geological perception of time as material, a perception which allows us to envisage how material change in the past or present can territorialize futures.
