Blood Moon, 2025 & A Day in the Life of Kiribati, 2014
Shown at: ‘From the Cosmos to the Commons’, Stadtkuratorin Hamburg (2025)

Blood Moon is an invitation to stay with a passage of time in the way we imagine and inhabit it. It draws the viewer into an unfolding encounter felt through the body and the moon. The moon is not just a celestial body, it is a force that stirs the skin, unsettles the heart, and reshapes the tempo of lived experience. Here, time is not measured by uniform beats, but by pulses of intensity: a shimmer, a blaze, a bloom.

This work expands on Moon Clock, shown at the Frith Street Gallery (2024)— a sculptural device that renders lunar rhythms into a clock of moods and surges. Blood Moon extends into an immersive video experience, allowing a deeper engagement with the force of the moon and its affective pull on human time.

A Day in the Life of Kiribati gives the time of Kiribati, an island on the Pacific Ocean, which bended the imaginary line of meridian to stay in the local time zone. It is also the first land on Earth to switch the calendar over to 2000, and which could be the first place on this planet to disappear with rising sea levels because of global warming. Here, timekeeping becomes both a marker of continuity and a reminder of impermanence.
