Artist Statement

​

From November to December 2012, I was having an 'artist-in-residence' at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV), Trondheim, Norway. Since I arrived Trondheim, I started to aware of the notion of time when I saw the large written opening and closing time at the entrance of the supermarkets. I was inquisitive about the reason why they are written in that way. I wondered if it was due to the very long or very short daylight in Norway, does it mean that Norwegian are very concern about timing?

​

My curiosity continued as the daytime became shorter and shorter day by day. I tried to catch the sunlight (if there was any) and put more attention on the notion of time. I also tried to understand how my awareness of time affected me and how I interpreted the notion of time if it is a precious matter for me. I would have missed out before I arrived Trondheim.
