The Sympathy of Clocks

"At the heart of the universe is a steady, insistent beat: the sound of cycles in sync" Steven Strogatz

An installation about nature's tendency to synchronise, even when no one's giving orders. Based around a circular sculpture of mirrors, the immersive work transformed each space through light, sound and text.

Made with kind support from Arts Council England and Kent County Council’s Arts Investment Fund.

The installation was exhibited at The Spire, Brighton and at Elsewhere, Margate. It was part of Margate NOW 2021’s Wider Programme. The 2021 edition of Margate NOW, ‘Sunken Ecologies’, was guest curated by Anna Colin and takes on the human-made natural environment and the possible role, participation and responsibility of cultural practitioners in caring for, engaging with, reclaiming or reimagining green spaces.
