paul cocksedge studio has teamed up with sino group to reveal a new piece of public art dubbed ‘time loop’ settling at the entrance of yue man square in hong kongthe project takes shape as an infinite loop, hence its name, that mimics this region’s ongoing change and speed of life over the last half-century. captured here by kris provoost, the project invites passers-by to sit on the piece, rest, and interact, with their bodies adjusting to the wooden bent strips. paul cocksedge's infinite loop installation echoes ongoing hong kong transformationall images © kris provoost

 

 

the artwork is a gift from sino group to hong kong, marking the company’s 50th anniversary. reflecting on the passage of time and echoing the constant change, the static piece fuses the sustainably sourced timber, grain, and texture, while drawing from hong kong’s rich history and landscape where old and contemporary elements coexist. 

 

 

‘I can’t wait to see the human form bringing life to the artwork. when people sit on time loop they become part of the movement of the city, as well as its transformation. it reflects a place that’s endured for many years, but remains constantly moving and evolving. and that’s the symbolism of the form,’ says paul cocksedge.paul cocksedge's infinite loop installation echoes ongoing hong kong transformation
