How do we understand the present, past and future as the passage of time constantly destroys and creates new states of affairs? Do objects exist only in the present?

Reflecting on the work of Agnieszka Polska and Raphael Hefti - who both exhibited solo shows at Nottingham Contemporary, 2014 - Dr Jonathan Tallant, Head of the Department of Philosophy University of Nottingham, provides an introduction to the philosophy of time including theories of presentism and ‘the truth maker’.
