The art of taking the very, very long view of time
Our lives are brief moments when compared to Earth's long timescales. This can feel daunting, but it needn't be so.
In the second of three films about "deep time", journalist and author Richard Fisher profiles the mind-expanding work of artist Katie Paterson. This work includes a library in Oslo whose books won't be read until 2114, and a room in Scotland that holds all of time - from pre-solar dust to Anthropocene detritus.
Richard Fisher is a senior journalist for BBC Future, and author of The Long View.
