The concept is that time is not subjective or liquid or relative - like it could be interpreted from a Dali painting - but time is an illusion. Time is man made and is a fiction. Time does not exist. There is only the now. Only the present moment exists. The infinite presents that never ends. There is only timelessness. Timeless now. The black and white - shadow and light - background represents the yin and yang symbol: the cosmic unity of duality in symbiosis. Opposite elements like good and bad in harmonic balance. The clock is broken in half. The fiction of time stopped. There is only now.

Fabian was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1976 and now is living in Berlin. Fabian studied philosophy and art history from 1997 to 1999 in Tuebingen, Germany.

Fabian creates instant film art. Since the year 2000. He manually manipulates the polaroids in his original style he invented and developed over 22 years now. “The world is only an illusion. Life is a dream. Wake up and know yourself!”
