For the Unstable Time series, Miyajima is using nylon fabric as a base for the first time. The single-coloured ‘LED gadgets’ are attached to the fabric in spirals or circles and count in different rhythms. The softness of the fabric hanging freely on the wall refers to the impossibility of being able to completely control the world and adds an element of ‘instability’ to the work, which oscillates dialectically between uncontrollability and freedom. Time and the universe are not fixed or absolute, but something gently flowing and malleable. The only thing we can do in the face of such an uncontrollable world is to confront the various phenomena with our imagination.
