The Chrono - Shredder



The Chrono-Shredder is a device that reminds us of the preciousness of our lifetime.
It represents the passing of time by shredding the days of the year – printed on a paper roll –
at a slow constant rate. To shred one day takes 24 hours.
There is no "off"-button. As the seconds pass by,
the tattered remains of the past pile up under the device…



This project asks, what people would do if there were given the ability to hibernate —
and so, stop their natural ageing. Would they regard natural ageing as threat?
Will they start counting their “awake” hours like they count calories today?
