"The word eternalism is meant to suggest a movement in time and deep space — seen without special screens or glasses — that stays, doesn't repeat but keeps happening and can be seen in illusionary depth by both eyes or a single eye. Impossible in reality but not to cinema." - Ken Jacobs, 2023
Eternalisms are Ken Jacobs’ invention: digital works that conjure sustained, unresolving three-dimensional movement. Growing out of the Nervous System film performances he created with Flo Jacobs, they became the central form of his final decades.
