Time Crystals is an experimental short film about images, memory and time, as told by a not-quite-human narrator.
The synthetic narrator is remembering time through images, though it’s not clear if the memories are real, if they are fantasies, or something in-between.
The narrator describes finding patterns in time, which “she” calls time crystals. We do not know if this enigmatic time-image is an encoding, a transmission, or a conscioiussness loop.
Time Crystals is a stand-alone film, and also part of a larger film cycle that is screened or presented in an expanded installation.
