Timekeepers is a virtual art installation space developed using traditional timekeeping symbols, which resonate with the phenomenon of temporality. It deconstructs the complexity of the human condition in a state of pandemic and questions our subjective understanding of how we may experience the flow of time. On top resides a mammoth digital sculpture inspired by Janus - a two-faced God considered a guardian of time, transitions and doorways. In this reinterpretation of Janus, the two heads are drawn apart and made to confront each other. They are connected through a twisted entanglement, which is a metaphor for the complexity of our present moment. On the bottom exists an underground bunker with multiple 360 degree, immersive viewing rooms running organic timescapes. Together, this world references the duality of past and future, where this present moment seems to be suspended like an unending drag.
