With his work the artist Tamer Serbay, born in Turkey in 1947 and now living in Hamburg/Germany, does express the passing of time. The installation shown in the panorama is part of his exhibition "The time is always now", which he presented in Rendsburg/Northern Germany in early 2005 (Museen im Kulturzentrum and Art Gallery Müllers).
More than 200 paper bags in varying tints of red, each containing a bunch of wheat plants, are hanging from the ceiling on thin copper wires. For Tamer Serbay his choice of materials for this installation represents global consciousness: Wheat being used by man as food since thousands of years, and paper being the essence of culture and accumulation of knowledge and information.
I photographed the panorama from inside this work of art - hoping that this will give the best view of what the artist wants to express.
