"Testimonial To The Nearest Time" has been part of an ongoing project "Instability, Employed" since 2011.

Instability, Employed

000001"Instability, Employed" considers instability not as a flaw, but as the fundamental condition of both perception and creation. Drawing on the logic of indeterminate systems, it approaches imbalance as a point of origin rather than deviation.

The approach is to examine the illusion of balance as a constructed assumption—one that conceals continuous motion and uncertainty. In response, it proposes the realisation of enclosed spaces in which instability can be engaged, rather than avoided.

Within these conditions, authorship dissolves, and the work becomes a field of exposure rather than possession.

Testimonial to the nearest time is a reflection on a generation formed within the conditions of digital excess and perceptual diffusion. It examines a state in which attention dissolves, identity becomes performative, and reality is continuously mediated through interfaces and constructed images. The work does not attempt to describe this condition, but to inhabit it—through figures that oscillate between presence and simulation.

Across its series—Interface, Setting the Avatar, Artefact, and Wrapped in Delusions—it traces the mechanisms through which meaning is produced, forgotten, and replaced. Memory appears not as continuity, but as fabrication sustained by artifacts.

What remains is not a narrative of the future, but a testimony of its impossibility.
