Anna Usadi
Our Time-Keepers
Viewers are invited to ask the question “what is time?”, and to consider how non-human notions of time might differ from our own. Shells of an extinct species are imagined as a future AI mourns the loss of molluscs due to damage from acidic water. The network questions the understanding of time and turns to molluscs for a new understanding, as the ridges on their shells used to denote a year in human time, but no longer due to climate change.
Material: Unglazed stoneware, tower computer parts, paint, sand, speakers, two-channel sound installation.
Size: variable (60 x 200 x 250 cm as pictured)
Year: 2023
£1400 , Individual ceramics £150 - £350 (please enquire)
Delivery costs apply, please enquire before purchase
