This notebook, published for dOCUMENTA (13), offers insights into the series of discussions between Peter L. Galison, historian, author, filmmaker, and Professor of the History of Science and Physics at Harvard University, and South African artist William Kentridge, in which they explored the history of the control of world time, relativity, black holes, and string theory.

The Refusal of Time, a 5-channel video installation with kinetic sculpture, was installed at dOCUMENTA (13).

Text in both English and German.
