ISSA DALAM by

Austin Camilleri

Issa Dalam - Night has Fallen - is a video work by artist Austin Camilleri, investigating transience. It was recently projected in February, every evening after the sun sets on the facade of the Anchorage Museum in Alaska.

Seas both unite and divide. Horizons may become threatening barriers as well as destinations for future hope. The sea facilitates the movement and interaction of people, ideas, and ecosystems. This work uses time as a way of investigating transience and timelessness in an ever-changing oceanic landscape. The clock marks Alaska time in Maltese. Clocks mark timehin in Maltese - over the passing of time - zmien in Maltese. The rhythm of the video alludes to traditional bell clocks, widely in use in the Mediterranean, where the strike is on the quarter hour rather than on the second.

Issa Dalam was first exhibited at the BOZAR in Brussels in 2017.
