And Time Begins Again

Published by the University of Bergen, Faculty of Art, Music and Design, Norway, And Time Begins Again is a 300-page full-colour hardback that brings together the visual and intellectual dimensions of Eamon O’Kane’s practice. The volume features richly illustrated works alongside essays by Sadie Plant, Matt Packer, Martin Clark, and O’Kane, examining the intersections of art, memory, and temporality.
A central thread of the book is O’Kane’s engagement with the Greenhouse Archive, a long-term project in which he documented a derelict plant nursery in Denmark for 10 years are transformed into living repositories of memory, material, and image. Through these archival explorations, O’Kane interrogates how time is recorded, experienced, and reimagined, blending meticulous visual documentation with performative and conceptual gestures.
With full-colour reproductions and an expansive format, And Time Begins Again allows readers to immerse themselves in O’Kane’s architectural and pictorial investigations, where each page becomes a space of temporal and spatial reflection. The book is both a scholarly resource and an art object, bridging theory, practice, and poetic sensibility.
