Artist Statement:
The human body could be compared to a clock; heartbeat, blinking, breathing … the rhythmic functions of our autonomic nervous system mark the passage of time. The very continuity of such autonomic bodily functions means that they go unnoticed, as does the passage of time. While we cannot control the progress of time, in Sneaky Time participants have the opportunity to symbolically do so. The clock only moves and ticks when the participant blinks; the synchronous sound created foregrounds this silent, usually unnoticed activity, subtly reminding both participant and viewer of their mortality. ozgesamanci.com vimeo.com/46451082
