Time Lines reflects on concepts of time and their resulting consequences for society and climate. The spatial installation juxtaposes the fleeting nature of events and the passing of moments with a multidimensional perception of time. It touches upon the impending tipping points of global climate change as well as personal experiences of temporal disorientation.

The work explores various notions of time, such as linearity, circularity, multi-temporality, simultaneity, inversion, acceleration, retardation, repetition, alteration, phasing and timelessness. It decouples auditory and visual perception, creating fragile moments of trembling time. Additionally spatial movement, time, and rhythm are melting into a unified experience, blurring the boundaries between them.

The piece is composed in a circular form with no beginning or ending. Therefore, the audience is invited to enter at any moment, move freely and stay as long as desired.  

The audience embarks on a journey through a dreamlike corridor of sound, rhythm, light, and water. The elements create a surreal, dystopian, rainforest-like environment where water drips onto metal plates from a height of six meters, light stretches and reverses the perception of time, and sound passes as musical shadows.
