About: Inspired by the article Einstein’s Dreams, this flip book explores time as a repetitive and continuous experience rather than a measurable system. Through simple sequential imagery, the work emphasizes looping motion and quiet transformation, inviting slow, attentive viewing.

Placed under Sustain / Loop, the project does not aim to explain or resolve time, but to stay with it. The flip book functions as a small, repeatable object—one that can be returned to without instruction, allowing rhythm and presence to emerge through ongoing use.

As a physical object, the work takes the form of a flip book depicting a continuous motion of falling rain in space. The imagery unfolds frame by frame, creating a subtle, meditative loop when flipped. The outer box is marked with three-dimensional coordinates, positioning the work within an abstract spatial system—suggesting that time, like space, can be located, repeated, and experienced as a contained yet infinite dimension.
这本翻页书的灵感源自爱因斯坦的《梦》,它将时间视为一种重复且持续的体验,而非一个可测量的系统。作品通过简洁的连续图像,强调循环往复的运动和静谧的转变,引导观者放慢脚步,专注观看。

该项目被归类于“持续/循环”主题,其目的并非解释或解决时间问题,而是与时间共处。这本翻页书本身就是一个小型、可重复使用的物件——无需任何指示即可反复使用,让韵律和存在感在持续的翻阅中逐渐显现。

作为一件实物,作品以翻页书的形式呈现,描绘了雨滴持续落下的动态景象。图像逐帧展开,翻动时形成一个微妙而冥想般的循环。外包装盒上标有三维坐标,将作品置于一个抽象的空间系统中——暗示着时间如同空间,可以被定位、重复和体验,成为一个既封闭又无限的维度。
