synopsis

Excerpts of texts by psychoanalyst Marion Milner (1900-1998) on concentration, the body, repetition, daydreaming and open-ended time as conditions for creation are read and reflected upon by different artists. These voices and the silences in between them - images of a seascape in Norway and of the artists' workspaces, as well as sounds at and near the Norwegian coast - create parallel spaces, each following their own rhythm. The resulting experience of time resonates with Milner's idea of leisure: not a moment opposed to work, but a time allowing us to perceive and think freely without an immediate objective.
