Graphic Score made for voices (riso print, 29,7 x 42 cm, English and Swedish edition)
Time Teller is a graphic score with two voices, which changes its instructions based on the interpreter’s daily routine and location. The different times of day determine the duration and sound with the help of a clock. The minute hand of the clock indicates what sound to sing (aaah, oooh, hum), and the hour hand shows how long to sustain a tone. The score also includes pauses (to count out loud or quiet), instructions to mimic the sound of a decreasing or accelerating train, and to read, sing, or whisper texts.
At Galleri Mejan, Time Teller was presented as printouts for visitors to engage with in the exhibition space or take home.
The title Time Teller is from a monologue on circular and linear time by the character Shevek in Ursula K. Le Guin’s novel The Dispossessed.

Aaah, Oooh, Hum is a wall-hung sculpture of the clock from the graphic score, with adjustable hands. Blue filters covered the lights and windows in the space. One spotlight was directed onto the sculpture, and the others illuminated empty wall spaces, suggesting that other clocks have existed or will exist.

Printouts of the two voices and clock dial of the graphic score Time Teller are glued to the wall. Mounted infront of them are three glass sheets with engraved drawings of circles and a dragonfly that moves counterclockwise on the glass. Between the clock dial and one of the glass sheet is a metal axis with adjustable clock hands. On the same sheet of glass, is an oily finger print, which is smudged when someone moves the clock’s hands.
