Multisensory Installation
«As for Neheh, that’s the day.

Edition 1
The Copula project is a series of ongoing and newly conceived editions that continuously discuss the ancient Egyptian understanding of the temporal dimension and analyze different aspects of it.
Time is a dimension that seems natural to all of us, yet so complex. The familiar order of the triad of time, represented by feeling past, present and future, seems universally valid. But in ancient Egypt there was a far different conception of temporal order, divided into a two-dimensional understanding of completed and unfinished processes.
Against this backdrop, the multisensory installation Copula offers an examination of the ancient Egyptian understanding of time and invites one to experience an abstraction of this temporal perspective. The woven sculpture grows through the use of sound and light into an assemblage of diverse sensory experiences.

«and I would just listen,
and I’d listen,
and I’d listen
and if I didn’t hear the Next Note
I’d wait until there was absolute
silence
and then I’d hit it again,
and this went on for quite a while
until I heard the next note.»
