H Gallery
Sathon Soi 12 Wed-Mon, 10am-6pm Until March 3 Call 081-310-4428
H Project Space presents a site-specific, kinetic installation by the Seattle-based artist Mark Von Rosenstiel. Mark has been resident in Bangkok to further explore his interest in relationships between our perception and physical experience of time and place.
"This time we feel, this time we see" is a drawing machine which functions according to live video feeds from the street of H Gallery and CCTV footage of Bangkok. Visualising the passage and sensation of time, the machine creates an analogy for our perception of the shifting conditions of our surroundings. Mark is interested in disparities between our micro and macro experience of time passing, and "this time we feel, this time we see" traces how we affect and are affected by the immediate and larger contexts of place and space.
