Description
It was a discussion about time, day and dates at the very first.
The expiration is always being interpreted as the freaking end at the end of the day – this might be seemingly a factually accurate truth; living in a world with a numerical system from zero to nine, limitation turns into a constant value in our daily life.
If there is no dimension of life that does not include time, days are where we live, dates are the representation of life, expiration is an intersection on a timeline, and this time interval keeps looping regularly.
Simultaneously the “allotted date” splits time and forms time frames of before and after. “Best before” – we are used to make commitments before the “date”, no matter how uncertain and ambiguous it would be; and we are informed to fancy the vague promise.
Not ostentatious, not esoteric, not snobbish – our attempt is solely to articulate the mental vulnerability we undergo when living with the “expiration date” in reality, rethinking the presence of time.
