​​​​​‘LET’S ALL SLOW DOWN TIME TOGETHER’ is an immersive installation inviting people to collectively reclaim their control and sense of time. Inspired by research showing that the specific feeling of awe—like when watching a sunset—can slow down our perception of time. 

 

The work centers around a digital image mimicking the choreography of colors and movements of a sunset. Simply by watching, viewers are invited to pause, elongate their sense of time, and experience a collective slowing-down. In doing so, they create an intervention in the room by collectively decelerating time within the space. This act becomes a quiet, symbolic protest against the fast pace of modern life, reclaiming control.

 

This installation also reflects on the fading presence of communal contemplation in public life. Sharing stillness with strangers—like watching a sunset—is a rare yet vital form of connection, especially after years of isolation during the pandemic.

 

The soundscape, created in collaboration with Maria Wildeis, transforms the sound of a church bell—slowed down, reversed, and blended with hissing birds—creating a meditative, non-time bound atmosphere.
