Blood Moon is the recent piece made for the Hamburg Planetarium. Different orientations of the clock describe the ways in which the moon affects us as humans, in our hearts and on our skin, altering our sense of lived time. The objective, common time can be folded inwards to that place where the duration between blooming by moonlight and being drenched by moonshine becomes a legible passage. Blood Moon invites us to rethink how we measure, inhabit, and imagine the passage
of time—to perceive time not just as a continuum, but as an interplay of personal, cosmic, and historical dimensions.   Moreover, it works as an alarm; a sign that planetary time, for us humans might be running out.

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.
