Who knew that by just replacing the sand in an hourglass with soapy liquid you could defy the laws of space, time, and physics and make it appear to flow in reverse? But that’s exactly what happens with this Awaglass timer.

100,000 Staples
Approx floor area 600x300cm

Stacks of staples were broken into varying sizes from full stacks about 12cm high down to single staples. These stacks were then stood up and arranged over a period of 40 hours.

Nebulae by Fabian Oefner.

“What might look like a giant nebula or a distant galaxy at first glance, is in reality the glowing ends of a fibre glass lamp.

The images were created by taking long-time exposures of several fibre glass lamps (exactly, those ugly-looking lamps, that were extremely popular in the 90`s) moving around in a darkened room. Afterwards, severeal images were multiplied in photoshop to achieve the density of such a structure.

What I personally like about this project is how you can create an illusionist space with such simple means, that are familiar to everybody.”
