Mungo Thomson’s Time Life series compresses reference books into rapid stop-motion videos, creating flickering visual experiences set to music. His latest volumes (8–16) explore subjects from seashells to mime, using digital editing to evoke the speed of modern data processing. Paired with dynamic soundtracks, these immersive works confront the overload of contemporary media, challenging the notion of fixed knowledge while reawakening the body’s response to visual and sonic input.
