From the perspective of a photon, there is no such thing as time. It gets born, and might exist for hundreds of trillions of years. The photon is never affected by time since the moment it’s emitted, till when it’s absorbed again. Swivel is a light modulator and it connects light and time. It works as an hourglass: trough a simple gesture of your hand you can experience light fading in and out, as the sand slowly falls.
The idea for this concept of light modulator began because of my curiosity about science, about the notions of time, space and light. What is the oldest and most famous device used to measure the passage of time?
I decided to combine the concept of time of the hourglass with the concept of modulating light, to create a solid relation between time and light.
