(Residual Time)

Tacitly, almost understatedly, (Residual Time) explores a sense of unthreading and untimeliness, a coming-apart made manifest in objects that combine tender manipulation with hi-tech materials and processes of development that are difficult to control.

A divided space. A performative gesture of unthreading, or destabilizing, by hand. A fading fingerprint. A tapestry from a material used in radio antennas, heating elements, electromagnetic shielding and safety wear. A short film on the sheer invisibility of its subject matter in a recent study on dark matter phenomena.
