Jósefina Alanko: Were time ends

Stoneware ceramic stars, LED, and control unit Year: 2021

Where Time Ends

Where Time Ends (Mihin kaikki päättyy) was conceived in response to the theme of the 2021 FLASH3 – Light and Death Biennale. Each star-shaped piece in the installation pulses with its own rhythm, symbolizing both illumination and extinction. These stars represent more than celestial bodies; they evoke the mysteries of time beyond death, astrology, and the countless wishes humanity has projected onto the night sky for centuries. The work invites reflection on the nature of existence, the passage of time, and the unknown that follows life’s end. Comprising 3 to 9 large stoneware ceramic stars, the installation draws direct inspiration from real stars, with the number of stars varying depending on the exhibition space. The result is a contemplative meditation on the vastness of the universe and our fleeting presence within it. The work is produced in collaboration with Mateusz Krain.
