“…understating time is understanding us and understanding us is understanding time.”
Moments of ‘Kairos’ glimpsed through ‘Chronos’ – hints of eternity through our temporal lenses.
By attending to the sensorial exploration of skin, unfolding our relationship to a layer of protection, we become attuned to what we cannot leave behind and the impossibility of being absent from our envelope.
By examining weight, continuity, linearity and intimacy, the work alludes to cycles of impossible utopias intertwined with longing, time loops and the never-ending process of healing and adjusting.

The original work was compositionally structured by Steuart Pincombe and the current work is improvisationally realized by Boram Lie.
