Fossil Locomotion
installation
Year: 2018

This installation plays with the dimension of time: Fossils that were lying still for around 750 million years start to move again through flickerings of a fraction of a second.

Imaginary motion studies of my family's fossil collection in 81 sequences of 4 slides.
The illusion of movement is created by means of a rotating disk, 4 slide projectors and a soundtrack.
The flickering animation arises because of the rotating disc lets the light through from one of the slide projectors at the time.
