Albe is a hybrid project built around the observation of a dawn through an online real-time camera system. The theme regarding processes of time and our presence within it lasting for several minutes is one that has had an enduring fascination for me. The work is presented both in performance form and as a fixed installation within a space. The choice of observation point is determined by the time of execution, which must coincide with a site where the position of the sun is approximately twelve degrees below the horizon.
