‘The gravity of time’ is a book and lecture-performance that gathers distinct perspectives about time perception, time measurement and time in social behaviour. It entangles ideas and thoughts from philosophy, biology, neuroscience and physics, and presents them side-by-side with my own art practice and personal experiences. Three performances took place in a staged waiting room, unfolding all three chapters of the book with various small-scale works around: seven clocks running each at a distinct velocity (‘Seven singularities’), one clock running backwards (‘Verso time’), a small screen showing a temporal illusion (‘Odd triangle’) and a fictional flag for a future European Union (‘More is more’).

The project was also part of the exhibition ‘Enésima Intempestiva’ at the gallery Àngels Barcelona, with the launch of a second edition of the book and a new lecture-performance.

Waking up at rather odd but beautiful times: when the sum of the hours’ digits equals the sum of the minutes’ digits
