Uselessness. The French expression ‘le temps’ refers to both time, the representation of the passage from past to present and future, as well as to ‘weather’.
Time and weather gradually erode places or objects exposed to its bite. First, there is weather: The winds erode, the sun scales paintings, the rain corrodes sheet, the floods deposit silts. Then the passage of time, uselessness, obsolescence, the lapse of memory, dust, ruin. And yet these objects are always there, they sometimes proudly raise a hard past, sometimes modestly a glory lost.
