We move through the city at night, just as the night city moves around us. The clockwork casings—curated by the artist from nightscapes across different regions—stumble along in motion, grinding to a halt as the mainspring's momentum wears off. What moves is more than just images of the landscape; it carries a passive state of purposelessness. Depicted within the mechanical installations are massive cities in the dark, vanished cities, and cities in transition. Emerging as distinct states of being, they wait in the late-night lights.
