'What is left when everything is gone', 2021. Wood, metal, PVC plastic, timed air compressor.
“I cannot get a grip of the present moment” is the premise and the mechanism of “What is left when everything is gone.”
Built as an hourglass without sand, the installation uses regulated pressure valves, leakage, and timing to stage intentional deflation as time passage.
As pressure bleeds, form is always leaving itself: what you see is either the after-image of what it was or the forecast of what it will be, never a stable “now.”
This is not a metaphor but a device: time rendered as control logic, duration measured by loss.
The piece demonstrates a simple claim: the present is a system effect; suspend the system and only matter remains.
