An Orchestra of Signals
This independent extension builds the stage from suspended light lines and translucent signal planes. Music, image and architecture share a vertical rhythm that can expand for spectacle or contract around a single performer. The system gives technology atmosphere without turning the orchestra into background furniture.
Time in Layers
The concert film opens a brass pocket watch along its own axis, then uses the dial to introduce 1930. Time in Layers takes the same reveal into the foyer. A handwheel lets a visitor separate the four layers before seeing the film.
A fixed axis, a changing view
The brass rim, Roman dial, dark timber and steel movement are drawn from the original frames. Three stops turn the film edit into a physical sequence: read the closed watch, open the bezel, then see how the case, movement, dial and rim fit together.
From foyer to browser
The proposal places a 310 mm watch on a waist-high oak plinth with a separate handwheel. An enclosed guide and mechanical end stops would be needed before building. The foyer image is a concept visualization; the browser study demonstrates the sequence, not the gearing.
Turn the watch
At rest, the case, movement and dial read as one object.
