Leap second is an extra second added to clocks worldwide every few years since 1972. In reality it means that clocks are effectively stopped for a second to give Earth the opportunity to catch up since the velocity of it’s rotation does not match the speed of atomic time. Its a tiny bit too slow and it keeps slowing down. Atomic clocks, however, tick away at pretty much the same speed over millions of years. What do we acknowledge more – the perfection or the natural path?
The first collaboration of Latvian object / visual theatre director Mara Gaņģe and video / performance artist Kate Krolle reflects upon relationships of time – lifespan and to different practices of repairing, fixing and improving.
