For her performative, cinematic piece she brings together the poetic and scientific to create a sensory experience that investigates the philosophical concept of Deep Time and events on a geological scale. This story of survival through time, unfolds with the choreography of artificial lights and sounds. \u0160karnulyt\u0117\u2019s work evokes time travel and can be understood as a form of archeology of the future.
