A time-lapse film with images of the shifting sunlight is projected onto a small rotating screen attached to the hand of a clock. The shaft of sunlight changes its shape as a result of Earth and screen revolving. It creates an unexpected dynamics between the abstract, socially constructed clock-time, the natural cycle of Earth’s rotation and the temporality of film medium, resulting in a meditation on the complexity of our experience of time.

Guy Sherwin (1948, London, United Kingdom) pushes the limits of cinema with his films, installation works and performances, in which he explores film’s fundamental properties: light and time. After studying painting at the Chelsea School of Art in the late 1960’s, Sherwin taught printing and processing at the London Film-Makers’ Co-op during the mid-70s, at the heyday of the British Structural Film Movement. He now teaches at Middlesex University and University of Wolverhampton, and collaborates on expanded cinema performances with his partner, Singaporean film and sound artist Lynn Loo. His films have been widely exhibited in England and abroad. Solo shows include San Francisco Cinematheque, LUX London, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Bozar Brussels and Image Forum Tokyo.
