ABOUT
Fluvial time is a video sculpture of a weightless, floating waterfall. It brings the dangerous brute force of rushing water into a delicate, immaterial form. The rapids slow down and speed up accompanied by the sound design, revealing details in the swirling water that the naked eye would miss.
The installation relates themes of time and perception through slow motion, literally a “magnifying glass on time” (from the German word Zeitlupe). Within the festival, it offers a calm space to pause and contemplate these shifts in perception. The water cascades with endless momentum only to suddenly vanish, prompting us to wonder where the flow of time goes once it escapes “now”.
