The dream of perpetual motion has long been a central topic of Vadim Fishkin. Dark Times underlines the endless attempts to understand, measure, or control time, even when it appears to be “suspended,” “bright,” or “dark.” Windy represents another form of perpetual motion: a floor ventilator continuously creates vortices of flying paper silhouettes projected onto the wall, evoking an archive that refuses to settle down.
