Katie Paterson pours dust into a glass urn : BBC Future.
The art of taking the very, very long view of time
BBC Future
In the second instalment of this three-part series about "deep time", Journalist and author of The Long View, Richard Fisher, explores the mind-expanding work of Katie Paterson. Fisher considers the briefness of our lives in comparison to the grand timescales of the Earth, investigating Paterson's Future Library in Oslo, whose books won't be read until 2114, as well a room in Ingleby where pre-solar dust and Anthropocene detritus merge in a material record which spans all of time.
The film is currently available to watch on BBC Reel via the link below.
