The Light Clock - Between Sun and Server
A beam of light meets the mirrored rod, casting a reflection and a shadow that glides across the ground, in an asynchronous dialogue.
This installation, a modern echo of the sundial, speaks to the ancient rhythm of light and darkness - the time of the seasons, of sleep, of energy. But here it meets the fragile independence of artificial light, born of our desire to transcend the sun's planetary power.
In the Light Clock, time is no longer singular. It is multi-layered, it drifts, splits, converges. The clock becomes a choreography of discrepancy. It reflects how, in a world of 24/7 illumination, our internal clocks falter, and reminds us of the fracture between what we live by and what we are made for.
