SHLOMIT LEHAVI

Installation: Time Sifter

Time Sifter is a viewer-controlled environment immersed in visuals and sounds that plays on the theme of the time-machine in the digital age, and suggests a journey in time through motion, space and sound. A totem pole shaped steel construction, composed of circular wooden sieves, hand-crafted in Istanbul and retrofitted with projection material, is both the mechanism and the metaphor of sifting time.
