This is a multi-channel video installation work created by filming a seascape of waves for an extended period with a fixed camera, and by applying temporal manipulation to environmental sound data.
States in which the progression, stagnation, reversal, compression, and expansion of time and space gradually shift and invert are repeated.
The video and audio are processed in the same way, and by matching them to the positions of four speakers arranged in line with the three displays, when you move closer to the screen, the environmental sound corresponding to that part and timing can be heard.
In this way, the sound and image of each breaking wave that repeatedly appears are tied to the flow of time at the moment of filming.
The work also has a seamless loop structure. There is no major change in the overall time axis in relation to the repeating waves. The sun does not set, and the tide does not rise or fall. Eternally repeating, suspended time and space gradually draw in the viewer’s perception as well.
