Time Loop

时间之环 Time Loop

Tothree 图石设计

在北纬23.5°的中国佛山我们创造了一个时间之环，金属环以黄赤交角23.5°的方式倾斜在圆形水面上。它是一个巨大的时钟，雕刻着分针刻度的金属环每60分针旋转一圈，圆形水面每24小时旋转一圈，固定在地面的金属时针指向具体的时刻。

在金属环上除了分针刻度之外，还分布着地球沿黄道面公转观测到的十二星座。景观水面设置着三种时间刻度，由外向内，分别是中国标准时间，中国古代计时制十二时辰，以及格林尼治标准时间。

时间之环在光、影和雾气的笼罩下，创建了一个宁静而神秘的空间。当你身处其中，在时间之环的引导下体验发问时，你会都会得到属于自己的回应与启发。

In the city Foshan who is located 22.3 degrees north latitude, we installed a time loop with the obliquity of the ecliptic to the ground. As a huge time measurement system, the loop rotates every one hour; and with an hour hand, the water surface turns around every 24 hours, showing the local time. On the surface of the loop, we added calibration of minute and 12 constellations on the zodiac. On the ground, a thin water surface, there are 3 time measurements calibrations: the UTC time, old Chinese time measurement and GMT time. Together with the elements such as light, shadow and mist, the loop creates a serene and mystery space.
