Temporal Cities

[artifact – scaffolding]

In Ephemera, a temporal city exists within an ancient city. It is a nomadic parasite, constantly relocating itself into the city fabric. Ephemera can be densely concentrated in one location, or it can spread across miles. This city lightly constructs and deconstructs itself leaving no visible traces behind. The ancient city dwellers are preoccupied with traffic, honking horns and foamy beverages and do not even notice Ephemera. Instead they look through this city, only recognizing the underlying structure Ephemera has attached itself to.
Each day, the city of Ephemera is inhabited with creatures in bright orange jumpsuits. They climb up the thin vertical city and disappear between layered veils. It is here, in this secret world in the heart of the ancient city that they meet. These small hairy creatures amalgamate together and begin their never ending task of erasing time. Little do the people of the ancient city know that without Ephemera their own city could not exist.
