The monograph Time Tracks constructs anachronistic and eclectic constellations of philosophical concepts, biographical narratives and popular music. It stages unexpected encounters between Gilles Deleuze, Prince, Walter Benjamin, Franz Kafka, Vilém Flusser, Marvin Gaye, Michel Foucault, Camille and Marshall McLuhan. What brings this wide range of philosophers, media theorists, authors, and artists together is a shared concern; they all struggle with time.
