A constellation of lenses mediates two phase-shifting timelapse videos of the sun's passage over the course of a day, inverted and mirrored along a spectral horizon.

The mediation of time through the lenses speaks to the increasing governance and codification of attention through our perceptual technologies. Yet the horizon is a disjunction: the passage of light-time is out of synchrony, a dislocated temporality at the edge of technical enframing. The work sets our sights toward this horizon that is forever out of reach, and thereby orients.
