The work Time and Again (2011) is a contemporary vanitas-motif reflecting on the surface of our culture, seen as an elastic network of virtual realities in which decay and resurrection go hand in hand. In the video projection one sees a polygon model of a lily decaying and blooming at the same time. The lily, itself a symbol of eternal beauty and purity, appears as a white light on the wall. An arabesque that is not bound to time and space, fixed in an eternal now.

Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukacs work in a wide variety of media–most notably video, animation and graphics- producing a myriad of works that reflect on the ornamental nature of today's society. With intricate layers of depersonalization, imagination and re-mediation they animate the collective myths that characterize contemporary culture. Their work is shown in filmfestivals, museums and galleries and broadcasted on TV worldwide. Recent exhibitions/screenings include: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam / Centre Pompidou, Paris / IFFR, Rotterdam / MUHKA Antwerp / LAForum, Los Angeles / Experimenta Media Arts Biennial, Australia and more.
