Chrono-Shredder celebrates remorse for the lost moment. It is a poetic machine with functions similar to those of a calendar and a clock. Inside the box, the calendar year on a paper roll is lead through a shredding unit that is driven by a computer chip. Slowly and continuously, the device shreds every single day, minute after minute, hour after hour in real time. After 24 hours, one complete calendar day has been destroyed. The tattered remains of the past pile up as paper strips under the device as time passes by. The machine is developed in various iterations and is now lead into a limited edition.
