No Region Would takes its title from a mishearing, a mondegreen that shifts a familiar phrase into something unstable and difficult to place.

The installation consists of an array of clocks arranged across the floor, forming two opposing time structures that reference global time zones while subtly undoing their coherence. Each clock marks a different moment, yet no unified present emerges. Instead, time disperses across the space, producing a condition where synchronization fails and temporal orientation becomes uncertain.

At the center, a bottle and a radio sit along an implied boundary, echoing the International Date Line, a division that exists only through agreement rather than physical form. Signals drift without clear origin or destination, and fragments of sound move between recognition and noise.

While the work draws from systems that organize time and place, it does not resolve into a stable structure. Instead, it opens a space where orientation becomes fluid and the act of locating oneself, whether in time or geography, remains unsettled.
