The Crocodile Time – Study of Tick Tuck Crocodile

Overview

Solo by Furukawa Anzu, this is the fourth work in her 'Anzu'ology' series. It premiered in Tokyo 1991, and was inspired by a crocodile's sense of time as it lies still for hours on end. According to Furukawa, crocodile time has no beginning or end. If you hold your breath until your face turns red, you can experience that sense of time.
