‘The Passing-Through’ is comprised of two polyrhythmic, phase-shifting video and sound loops projected through a constellation of suspended hand-blown glass lenses. The videos are compressed, time-lapse images of the sun’s passage over the course of a day, moving through phases of light and time. The image is inverted and mirrored along a spectral horizon, producing a disjunction – a dislocated temporality in which combinations of spectral textures and caustics continually emerge without resolving into fixity.

The mediation of time through the lenses speaks to the increasing governance and codification of attention through our perceptual technologies, yet the horizon invoked is one that is always out of reach, evading capture at the edge of technical enframing. The work sets our sights toward this horizon that we cannot see over, one that remains forever out of reach, and thereby orients.
