The stunning installation you see here was created following an innovative pursuit of depicting time without using any traditional means of measurement. London-based Art and Design practice, United Visual Artists (UVA), sought to create a piece of art which could effectively show the passing of time, whilst also eradicating the need to use seconds, minutes or hours. UVA describe the architectural make-up of this piece as “a grid of pyramidal elements inspired by the sundial, each passing through time at a different rate”.  To fulfill their ambitious brief, UVA turned to light, to exhibit the perceived feeling of time passing, as opposed to the literal representation a clock provides us with. The structure of the piece is said to exhibit “changing patterns of light and shadow [to] create the illusion of a fluid surface; shifting combinations of colours from nature, recalling different times of day”. If you would like to read more about this piece, head over to UVA’s website, where you can find more images, and further comments from the artists themselves.
