Commissioned for the exhibition Malta - Land of Sea, BOZAR, Brussels.
Consisting of a physical piece and a video installation that creates a dialogue with a dormant 18th century traditional ‘Tal-Lira’ clock, the work makes use of the Maltese language to explore time scans in a timeless and yet ever changing seascape. The artist suggests to challenge the pertinence of the island as a cognitive device for territorial description of time in a politically charged sea.
