These spheres formed the basis of a sequence of site-based rehearsals, through which the mountain action and final ocean installation emerged as the project’s two principal outcomes. The unfired clay spheres function as provisional worlds: present, fragile and temporary. Their dissolution in the ocean becomes both material process and conceptual condition. The work asks how artistic practice might shift from mastery towards responsiveness, allowing site, collaborators, weather and water to become active agents in the work.

Grounded in Hartmut Rosa’s Unverfügbarkeit (uncontrollability), the work understands encounter and transformation as events that arise when control is partially released. Its tempo is shaped by full-moon phases and an astrological framing at the threshold of the Fire Horse year.

Across the exhibition, video art, biofeedback sound, and astro-photography function as autonomous artworks rather than documentation, holding the project in time and space as a continuum rather than a monument.
