29,980 Seconds (8 and a half hours)

A durational performance for "Where Metronomes Meet," a one-day show curated by Hammerspace Gallery on 11/15/25, in which I marked the passage of eight hours in seconds: 28,800 precisely. Scheduled were two mandatory 15 minute silent breaks: 900 seconds each. My collaborator CG kept time. Our shift lasted from 08:30-17:00.

Guests arrived 5 hours into the piece. We had to start quite early so the piece would end during the hours of the reception.
