The time machine is an installation that allows visitors to experience the different day phases within a few minutes.
Visitors walk, stand or sit on thirteen rotating plates while staring at an overhead projection playing a 24 hour time-lapse of the sky. They see sunrise, enjoy a sunny day, watch sunset and count stars at night, living a day within a day.
Rotating plates emphasize the sense of motion. They also change the perspective of the user and introduce him to his neighbors that are standing around him on adjacent plates. Moreover, they reflect the projected scenes on the ground level allowing the visitor to feel completely immersed in the scene.
The time machine is a reminder on how fast time passes. It is an invitation to “pause” and contemplate simple everyday phenomena.
