This work is a montage of the illustration of a recently
discovered dead star whose
light continues reaching us – even after its extinction –
and a vintage tear off calendar
sheet bearing the date
4 January 1966, incidentally
the year of On Kawara's first, “Date Painting“. Both elements relate to a measurement of time, where an action might
lead to a turning point, sug-
gested by the title’s quest.
