Counting 10

Contemporary Art Project, based on TIME
Counting 10 is a 5 minutes long video, deals with the time of counting and waiting.

By studying the aspect on the 'Time' issue, many questions raised up in my mind with this unseen but existent element in life.
How does time exist? What do we do with it? When does it go by from Now?I realized that time is always be limited in our life, i.e. time is began to count down to death once we were born. For me, counting is a kind of waiting, we count the time because we are waiting for something to be done, happened or finished at the same time. As in the video shown, all the stuffs waiting to be done or happened exist in our daily life, which is represented in a reversing way, i.e. counting down the date in calendar, sleeping mode of TV, etc...
Is it strange? Time goes in a linear way, which we could never go back to the past; but oppositely, we usually choose to concern time in a reversing way by counting. Is it we spend too much time for waiting in our life, instead of enjoying each tiny real moment?
