#06. Ambiguous Standards of Experience: Duration

The diverse collection of objects and animated LED screen demonstrate that time can be measured and fragmented with precision and exactitude or be manifested through relational perception and cultural connotations. The ambiguous fragments of time, that cannot be physically encapsulated, are represented on the LED screen and include the blink of an eye and the 'üç vakit' phrase used in fortune telling, which can correspond to hours, days, weeks or months.
