This installation of 38 images is composed of photographs taken by Han Qian over 19 consecutive days, capturing the moments of sunrise and sunset in Paris.

 

Stripped of conventional time markers, the viewer can no longer distinguish between sunrise and sunset. By the nineteenth day, the times of dawn and dusk had naturally shifted, resulting in a 30-minute discrepancy.

 

This barely perceptible change—embedded in the ambiguous light and repetition of the images—suspends our experience of daily time. The artist offers these fragile shifts as a quiet threshold through which we might begin to sense the elasticity and layering of time.
