The Irreverse is the world we live in. It is a world defined by the inability to go back, undo or rewind. Even when we retrace our steps and walk toe-to-heel, eyes cast over our shoulder, we don’t return to the same place: the new is also the unknown. Irreversibility humbles our aspirations for eternal youth and demands cultures of forgiveness, remembrance and repair that question the way bodies and resources are wasted and consumed. Yet, without irreversibility we have not chance to grow, mature, blossom or die. One step backwards is in fact many steps forwards, into the Irreverse.
