The author questions the role of contemporary art as well as his own, using Georges Bataille’s 1949 essay “The Cruel Practice of Art” as a conceptual framework. In the video, he arbitrarily takes words from the text and prints them with ashes on his own hand just to blow them into the wind, in an almost poetic act. The title, “Tempus Fugit” (time flies) refers to the ephemeral character of the constantly changing conceptualization of art and its visual analogy in the video.
