Timepiece” is a site–specific and time–specific installation following the movement of light through a particular space. The patterns formed are marked with tape at 15–minute intervals. When complete, the installation records all the patterns simultaneously, with the relevant time marked on each one, and the compass orientation marked on the floor.
“Timepiece” and primitive sundials capture time in much the same way, and both raise questions about how the earth itself moves, about the nature of ‘real’ time and how more sophisticated methods of documentation can manipulate and corrupt our observations and experience.
