finis horizontis (24/7) | 2024
24/7 Livestream | Closed-Circuit Videoinstallation
The projection of a horizon line, including the current time stamp – but the date is 59 years in the future. The horizon is produced by a video camera focused vertically on the room corner and transmitted to the projector. finis horizontis (Latin for, among other things, “limited field of vision”) develops the slightly overused subject from three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional surface, stretching it (infinitely) in the fourth dimension of time and oscillating between a motif of longing and apocalypse. The live character remains irrevocably fractured by the future date.
