MEASURING IS KNOWING: THE CHRONOMETER PROJECT
"The Sphere".
SPECIAL CHRONOMETER
Only 100 copies are for sale, each of them hand made and unique;
50 with the manual in English and 50 in Dutch.
numbered and signed.
There is only one hole in the Sphere: The moment you try to read off the time, your head blocks the light and the measurements disappears. As soon as you leave it alone, it works again.
What, then, is it for - all that measuring, knowing, defining, and fixing?
About our desire to control, to possess, and to keep hold of what we have?
The fear of darkness is as old as humankind.
The Sphere is a piece of not knowing; a piece of tamed darkness to take on your journey.
