Allochronologies explores alternate notions of time, all conceivable according to the laws of science, that do not adhere to our ordinary experience. This piece takes some of the more surprising ideas of modern physics (multiple universes, a universe that oscillates, reversal of time’s arrow) and translates them into a multi-volume artist book. Each volume takes one kind of chronology and, using fragments of fiction by some of the great 20th century writers, creates a book that physically embodies that conception of time.
