This piece encourages the viewer to reflect on how form changes with time. Today’s time scales are drastically changing at a rate not experienced before; the looming deadlines of the Climate crisis, AI development and global politics are warping our experience of time and form. While technology is largely responsible for ‘speeding up’ time, here the temporality of the media plays the opposite role by accentuating our human idiosyncrasies and distorting the time intervals. Not in tune with strobe lighting found in raves, or with the choreography of movement and growth in plants that inspired the piece.

Greenwich Peninsula was selected for its expansive horizon and proximity to water, linking to a longstanding interest in the notion of the sublime. The openness of the site supports the project’s investigation of scale, duration, and temporal perception.

The use of analogue projection is integral to the work as a mixed-media performance. The carousel projector engages the viewer directly with the sequencing of the images, blurring the boundary between performance and observation. The analogue process introduces grain, flicker, and a tea-stained tonal quality, producing a fabricated sense of age that adds a further temporal layer to the work.
