Installed inside an abandoned military guard booth at the entrance to a former battery, Pyramid Standard Time gathers asynchronous clocks into an overlapping field of temporalities. Built to hold a single standing body, the booth serves at once as shelter, surveillance post, and spatial restraint. Layered ticking drifts between mechanical precision and lived human duration, gradually wearing down the authority of a single clock.
Pointing toward speculative time systems beyond the rigid divisions of standardized global time, the work reflects on the instability of temporal borders drawn across a planet in constant motion. Within the overlapping rhythms, synchronization stays perpetually incomplete, and time disperses into drift, memory, approximation, and human irregularity.
