Crammond Causeway video installation Contemporay Urban Centre, London 2008

In contrast to Newton and Schopenhauer, your ancestor did not believe in a uniform, absolute time. He believed in an infinite series of times, in a growing, dizzying net of divergent, convergent and parallel times. This network of times that approached one another, forked, broke off, or were unaware of one another for centuries, embraces all possibilities of time. We do not exist in the majority of these times; in some you exist, and not I; in others I, and not you; in others, both of us.

The Garden of Forking Paths
Jorge Luis Borges

Cramond Causeway connects the mainland to Cramond Island, one of several in the Firth of Forth in eastern Scotland, near Edinburgh. The tidal island is connected to the mainland town of Cramond at low tide by the causeway, along which there are 290 aligned concrete pillars constructed as a submarine defence during World War II.

The causeway is approximately one mile long, and it takes around 20 minutes to walk. This video lasts the duration of the journey from shore to island.
