Despite Clairvoyance

Despite Clairvoyance by Dhruv Jani is an oraculum that claims to reproduce the fraudulent prophesies of discarded futures. Every future emerges from waiting for revolutions to return to their inevitable places in the present. Metronomes in tune and out of tune, bees and pollinators, the sediments of bedrock marking ringed counters in the memory of a planet, are all but clocks waiting to fulfil someone’s divination of time.

The mere act of counting in time is a prophecy that marks the turns between an expectation and a betrayal. Often yielding a future too late to be anticipated, and too trivial to be mourned; And yet a remarkable demonstration of our capacity to find hope in imagining that which will never be.
