Chronotopic Fractures is a time-based installation where atomic precision meets planetary instability through movement, moving image and sound. Two rotating devices represent conflicting temporalities, the pulse of atomic clocks and the unpredictable rhythm of Earth’s rotation. Their fleeting encounters trigger a bell, marking the “leap second”, a phenomena where technology and natural rythms collide. Moving images and sound construct together glacial recordings and synthetic tones. Time is a contested terrain. The work comes from research at the Paris Observatory and Arctic field sites, and traces how climate, science, and human measure all are entangled in continuous temporal negotiation.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
