Deep Time Resonance
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to be part of a multi-media installation called “Deep Time Resonance.” The universe was definitely smiling as I’ve been focusing on time with the Kinship Photography Collective this year. I got to show prints from my Even the Poles Move series, experience some amazing sound/video art, and make new friends.
“Deep Time Resonance,” curated by Jimmy Peggie, was an immersive, meditative installation that invited visitors to step outside of human-scaled time and enter the slow, profound rhythms of the earth. In an era dominated by rapid digital acceleration and ecological uncertainty, this exhibition functioned as a sanctuary of stillness, acoustic simplicity, and physical grounding.
The installation focused on geological time - i.e. non-human dimensions of time. It centers on durational sound works, video projections and related art works. The installation treated earth not as a passive resource, but as an active archive of memory, erosion, and ancient life. The space became a place for contemplative presence. Visitors were encouraged to slow their breath, and reflect on our fleeting place within the cosmic timeline of the universe.
Deep time changes the meaning of a human life by shrinking our daily worries into a tiny speck, revealing both our profound fragility and our unexpected power as planetary change makers. It shifts our perspective from short-term survival to a vast, interconnected continuum.

The sound art Thomas Catlaw created for the installation is called “Listening-with Sand.” This video shows how he set up his visual effects for the room using light under the shells to reflect on the walls.
