The machine as performer. Chrono-Shredder is a poetic time-object that reminds us of the volatileness of the >>now<<. As hybrid object with functions similar to those of a calendar and a clock, it shreds every single day in realtime. All that time that is irrevisibly lost gets a tangible existence in form of shredded paper. As time passes by, the tattered remians of the past pile up under the device.
