Solvej Balle そるゔぇい ばれ Winner

Solvej Balle's On the Calculation of Volume I, II and III is an experimental work that explores memory, embodiment, and spatial perception around a ruptured time loop in which the same November 18 repeats. Across three volumes, everyday experience is slowly shifted out of joint.

Trapped in a repeating day, the contours of time and sensation begin to shift.
