About the Item

Presenting time in the form of light on two curved surfaces, the accuracy of time is left to the will of viewers as there is no specific value to display, it can be a vague symbol of the passage of time or a precise time in terms of what time it is. The same applies to the use of light to perceive time on a sundial, the ancients had only a rough sense of time, yet comically in reality the actual time continues to pass at the same time as we observe the light, thus it is impossible to determine what is accurate. It is also comical and ambitious in itself that the overall shape of the work is similar to that of radar, in which we send electromagnetic waves into space longing for some kind of response, a wait that takes a long, if not endless, time. About the Artist: Cometabolism Studio is a design studio based in Shanghai, founded by Zhang Ning and Yang Yafei. Zhang Ning graduated from the designer maker program at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The direction of her work explores the entangled relationship between objects and human behavior. Yang Yafei graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Furniture Design at Central Academy of Fine Arts China. His works often use industrial readymades to blur the definition of objects and play with the idea of power of public space, attempting to derive industrial production relations through ready-made industrial components. The duo have collaborated on several art and design projects as long-time friends and expect to rethink the creative process under the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. In 2020, they established Cometabolism Studio to explore the possibility of reactivating mass-produced industrial metabolites such as industrial components and blurring their function in space, allowing art to intervene in everyday space. At the same time, through digital generation and other technologies, they explore undefined art objects that can blur the border between the real and the virtual.
