Natural Disaster, 2014

Natural Disaster (2014) is a work that reflects on how time is changeable and suggestible. Natural Disaster reflects irrational time measurement by manipulations of a light source from west to east, the reverse way, further evoking the construction of human action. “We always turn towards the shade”, notes Jordan. The projection of a sunflower clock stands as a metaphor for the human manipulation of our biosphere. The pole staff that normally runs perpendicular to the earth’s axis represents the sunflower heads. The more this leans from east to west, the more time is readable. The installation presents a shade or shadow play on one side, and the actual biological function mode on the other.
