Light and Time
ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
Sun – our only natural source of light has been the basis of designing the modern system of time. The concept of time helps us as human being to quantify our existence on this planet. That is the only system that is followed in unison by every single human being on this planet. Weather you are a part of the world run by machines or a tribe living in the remote jungles of Africa, the system of time is based on the earths movement around the sun, light and shadow, day and night. This system of time was designed by the Egyptians, babylonians, Mayans and sumerians after studying the sun and the movement of the celestial bodies.
It is light that gives us the perception of time passing at the same rate for us all even though our experience may differ.
Wait a Minute is an immersive experience that allows the audience to experience the passing of time by isolating each of their sense and compare it to the accuracy of sight.
