Six pieces of installation art exploring the feelings of nighttime.
All pieces by Sarah Cole.

“Funeral of Stars”
— West Gallery —
“ECR”
In 2017 in spent approximately 30 days either on or waiting for trains. So much time spent waiting yet in transit. I think I’m still waiting for a train now, waiting for that feeling of being on the way somewhere. This is that feeling.

A recreation of “Sea of Time’98” by Tatsuo Miyajima, as seen at Naoshima in May 2019.
“This old house called “Kadoya,” built about 200 years ago, was restored using Japanese plaster, smoked cedar board, and traditional roof tiles. Miyajima built a water pool inside the house, and put LED devices which counts from 1 to 9 in the water. He called for local residents to participate in his “time-setting” workshop, and had 125 people to adjust the speed of each counter.”

“See You Next Week?”
I miss you, my friends. I’ve sat with under these beautiful trees with you in Animal Crossing, beside our picnic that we cannot eat. It’s nice, but it’s not the same. I long to eat M&S picnic snacks (sweaty in their plastic packets) with you on a cloudy day in a scrubby park full of giddy children and lurking pigeons.

“I Like The Moon”
I hope you like it too.
— Lower Gallery —
“Night Market”
I first compulsively built a black maze in this space, almost impossible to navigate in the dark, but then I thought better of it. I miss the city. I miss wandering after dark, discovering bright pools of activity. You can’t really recreate that in a basement in Animal Crossing but I wanted to try anyway.
