The Annihilation of Space and Time is a collective publication that reflects on how speed, distance, and connection have been reshaped in the contemporary world. Instead of treating space and time as fixed ideas, the book examines how they stretch, compress, and lose definition in a society driven by global movement, information flow, and shifting cultural borders.
Through photography, visual studies, and individual artistic research, the publication brings together the work of 78 contributors from different countries and backgrounds. Each artist responds to the theme from a personal angle, revealing how the physical world, digital environments, and inner perception overlap. Some works focus on displacement and belonging, others study the fragmentation of experience, while others observe how memory and place dissolve or reform.
The book is structured as a slow unfolding rather than a single narrative. It moves across recurring ideas such as dislocation, transformation, architecture, social behavior, and emotional distance. The variety of approaches creates a wide visual field. Contributors including Bruno Silva, Cian Burke, Jeong Hur, Johan Brooks, Federico Monty Kaplan, Bénédicte Blondeau, Antonio Rodriguez, and Nicola Toffolini anchor the publication with distinct and consistent visual voices.
Printed in EU with high-quality materials, The publication invites the viewer to pause, to observe, and to consider how the rapid compression of the world affects both individual perception and collective understanding.
