Transient [      ]
3 june 2024





If nothing happens time still passes. It just seems to go slower. Transient [ ] is an
installation that visualizes the absence of time. A stack of sand is flowing on a platform
creating a pile that indicates how much time has passed. This is a representation
of when nothing has happened. When events do happen (such as movement)
the platform on which the sand is falling vibrates and the material representing the
absence of time dissolves.

The work represents the feeling of being connected to oneself and taking time to
listen to the passing time. If you're able to be in the moment long enough, the pile of
sand is again being recreated and you have entered the transient absence of time.
