[...] there is another time within time... still without past or future... only alive ...indivisible identical perpetual we never see it, it is transparency [...]

– Octavio Paz, Identical Time

A journey at night in the New York subway. Slowly, the city landscape glides past beyond the scratched windows, alternating with the rhythmical concrete pillars in the underground stations. The metal skin of the subway car evaporates in the reflection of the platform lights. Neon light breaks up in the rain drops on the windows. A rhythmical game of reflection and duplication generates a stream of images in which reality and illusion exist no longer next to each other but in each other. Inside and outside, fore- and background, lose their strict definition. A world in flux, fluid and transparent, bathing in an atmospheric soundscape. Inspired by Octavio Paz's poem of the same name, Cho touches a series of parallel worlds which continually flow into each other. Time, as a chronological yardstick loses its meaning and makes way for 'La durée', an indivisible today in a transparent in between world. In Cho's slowed, drawing-like and abstract images, this 'time within time' seems to congeal and appears to become fleetingly visible and almost tangible.
