fugit irreparabile tempus is a sound installation which consists of kitchen timers
that are reprogrammed into new individual time sequences. These sequences represent
elements in human life that have their own course of time like breathing, which
happens approximately every four seconds. Therefore, the familiar numbers that
indicate minutes and seconds here no longer have the same meaning. Listening to
the individual timers going off, the viewer is able to hear their new individual time
flow. Together they create chaos and composition through less perceivable rhythms
that are still fundamentally present in human life.
