the ground is shifting intermezzo concave figs – part i figs – part ii a measure of distance peaches and cream reading to the window 00:00 to 00:04 may it be a polar day attempt pressPeaches and cream is an immersive installation exploring the passing of time and the feeling of experiencing a sunset. In this installation, the windows are intervened and the colour of the walls are changed with the intention of making the space an infinite sunset. In the middle of the space, a red chair by designer Vico Magistretti, served as the stage for a performer who read a one-minute poem every hour. Their voice, combined with the change in light, marked how the passing of time manifested itself. The exhibition opened its doors at 8 am and closed at 8 pm when the sun finally set fully in the room. The installation slowly mutated with the sunlight and made the viewer acquiesce to a radically different relationship to time and place.
