This show focuses on time - the perception of time and what happens when that perception is altered. Whether through insomnia or drugs or the internet, our sense of what’s real is intrinsically linked to our perception of passing events, of the passing of time. We looked at what happens when our view of these moments, these sequential moments, are jarred. We focused on the idea that a single event can contribute to a total breakdown of consciousness. A single choice - and how both the action and inaction can cause a profound effect on our realty. What do we see when our ordered state of consciousness is stressed? How does our perception of reality change? We tried to find pieces that exhibit this sense - that illustrate this altered state, whether by seeing time in simultaneous moments, the potentiality of moments, or the moments where reality simply doesn’t compute and we suffer a glitch, trying to bring us back to “reality” - and what happens if we get stuck in that loop.

We hope you enjoy.
