Geologic time and the genesis of life. Millions, billions, years, people. We count the lands, the births, the rotations around the axis. Even though the counting may seem strange and hard to keep track of. How many are we? How old is our planet?
The speed of changes and the interest in synthesizing, marking and demarcating, registering.
We follow the numbers with letters and the writings reveal the difficulty of abstraction.
We resume the circumscription of the theme from the aspect of the primacy of nature versus the sense of human craft. But does this plot still make any sense?
Inscribed techniques and pages hardened by fire, with a brittle cover of raw earth. What surface is this?
