Star | Wish transforms the familiar gesture of wishing upon a star into an invitation to suspend the flow of thought. Through the steady, but subtly slower than usual, ticking sounds of a clock, the work gently disrupts the viewer's perception of time, drawing attention towards the present moment where anticipation, memory, and imagination briefly converge. The wish itself is less important than the act of making it - a fleeting moment in which time seems to pause.
Star | Wish, part of the exhibition project Time | Lapse, is developed during the Gargonza Arts scholarship period and was exhibited in the wine cellar of the Castello di Gargonza.
Let’s wait silently
Let’s look up
Let’s make wishes
Forget them all
Time
Existence
Pain
Embrace the click
Embrace the wave
Embrace the dream
Just for a moment
Just for a second
Just for an eternity
Let’s hope
For the worst
For the best
