Wai(s)iting your Time Away 2017
Platform 1 Gallery
Wai(s)ting your Time Away was a site-specific three-week sound installation at Platform One Gallery, an ex-waiting room in Wandsworth Station that is now an independent art space.
​
Passengers were invited to stay idle while waiting for their train by walking or standing on the replicated jetty, which gradually rose along the floor and stretched into the middle of the room.
At its end, two fans gently moved the air between the gap with the slab white wall.
​
Both the waiting room and the unreasoned jetty are deprived of their present time of their 'waiting' analogy, suggesting a reflection on whether the often time of 'waiting' for a train (by any means) is actually 'wasting' time.
