Uncertain Matter

'There is no need to build a labyrinth when the entire universe is one.’
Jorge Luis Borges

Uncertain Matter is a narrative driven audio-installation that contemplates on how to comprehend and define time. Uncertain Matter explores boundaries between fact and fiction, challenges perception of time, our place in the universe and our future within it. Since the industrial revolution, people have become dependent on clocks and time keeping. We all understand time for practical purposes, but the experience of time can also be subjective. Minutes can feel like hours; months can pass by so fast that it is hard to grasp.

The audio-narrative is based on numerous conversations with amateur astronomers, astrophysicists and botanists from Reykjavik and the surrounding area. The story that unfolds gives a personal insight to the thoughts and reflections of the people the artists has spoken to. The project evolved from a three-month residency with the Association of Icelandic Visual Artists in Reykjavik, Iceland (SIM). The project is funded by Nordic Culture Point Mobility Funding.
