Abstract

In The Timekeeper and the Hour Glass the author, an interdisciplinary artist and academic whose practice embraces moving image explores poetic nonlinear aspects of time.

The research is set within the context of contemporary art, arts and science research, feminist action, and site-responsive approaches. Through a complex interdisciplinary methodology incorporating the performative use of time-based media while engaging with philosophical enquiry, visual analysis and experimental research, the exploration here draws upon Julia Kristeva’s notion of intertextuality and Hito Steyerl’s artworks and essay documentaries. The paper aims to articulate the phenomena of culture and the unmeasurability of temporal and spatiotemporal objects of sensory experience as distinguished from the clock.
