Kairos Clock is an interactive installation at the Firth of Forth, where the act of interaction reenacts the process of pearl formation. It becomes a commemorative ritual for the disappearance of oysters, realigning past and future during an ongoing ecological crisis. At the same time, the ritual serves as an intervention into the disordered perception of time in modern society, fractured by systems of temporal construction.
