Universum "Mise-en-scènes of Time"

In the ‘Mise‑en‑scènes of Time’ Universum, Konstantin Chaykin brings together artworks where time appears as a medium within which action unfolds. Nature, architecture, landscape – all become a stage on which time manifests itself through movement, light and shadow, through the breath of wind or the flow of water. These works do not depict watch components directly, yet they retain the mechanical logic in the construction of the composition: every element is subject to an inner order, even if that order is not immediately visible. ‘The Mise‑en‑scènes of Time’ remind us that movements is not always visible, yet it is always present: in the curve of a river, in the rhythm of clouds, in the cyclical nature of natural phenomena. Chaykin transfers the principles of the watch movement into the space of nature, turning it into a stage where time flows according to the laws of the universe.
