Bells should be ringing
2024

At midday in Reykjavik, the city's oldest clock reads 1:25 pm, reflecting the dissonance between Icelandic official time and the natural solar rhythm. By presenting recordings of the clock from various perspectives, the work—situated between a documentary, an essay, and a poem— highlights one of the many instances of asynchronicity in our contemporary world.

In the video installation, the four speakers are positioned throughout the space to correspond with the church's four floors, mirroring the video's narrative and giving the visitor's experience a distinct sense of verticality.
