Anti-age

Samuelsson, Emma January 2024 (has links)
This thesis on the project Anti-age takes an interest in the passing of time, the different ways in which we have historically measured it and its respective effects on how we view the subject. Time as a theme came about from reading about the period prior to us having a wide availability to clocks. There is an old practise in Sweden were you sing a psalm when boiling an egg, as to keep time. The psalm in turn becomes a clock, a time-keeper. The abstractness of time takes another form.  Because of the climate crise which we start seeing unravel, this project turns its attention to objects which exist in the realm of the ordinary and therefore is invisible or uninteresting to us. Here, a regular tin can, the official office chair of Konstfack and a balcony table that we’ve seen one too many times are being turned into pre-historic clocks. With their rather unprecise measuring of time, the clocks designed in this project works as sort of vessels. The objects become a sundial, clepsydra and what we know to be the oldest clocks in the world. Sand, sun and shadow are visible units of time which remind us and grant acess to a sense of something bigger, other and further away from ourselves.
