Photographer’s Note

Being in Sopron for some days I visited this beautiful medioeval town and I met this man playing a faboulous Liszt... but nobody stopped for listening... all persons were in hurry...
In the european view, the movement of time would be forward, coming from behind us. Europeans have the idea that time exists as an entity in itself, and it moves.
We speak of time travel in science fiction in the terms of forward in time or backward in time. In the Western view, an event is a component of time. As time moves, you must use it or lose it. If you do not use it, it is gone.
In the African view of time one might say that time flows backwards. It flows toward you from the future, and the more or faster the activity, the faster time flows. Time is created, in a sense.
Time is not something in itself. Life is made up of events, defined by relationships. Time is a component of the event.
Your activity really determines the amount of time that passes. Thus the faster you work, the more time you use, because more activity is occurring, more energy is being used. If you are sitting and resting, you are conserving time. Time is not actually passing; it is simply waiting for you.
