A Jewelled Moment

by Jo Hodges Exhibition


A Jewelled Moment explored the measurement of time through live projections and audio. St Saviours’ Church Highbury, London.

Live projection of the inner workings and outer face of an antique pocket watch were installed opposite to each other. The accompanying audio of the amplified ticking of the pocket watch was accessed through headphones. The watch time was set to Switzerland where the watch was made.

“Only this moment counts, this moment alone, and that is because of the awareness that we bring to it.”
Indu Muralidharan
