The audio, experienced through headphones, features spoken text accompanied by a spherical soundtrack — created by playing a violin bow on electric guitars—that sonifies the pull and tension of gravity. The voice-over by the artist offers poetic reflections on the magic of this maritime place, its people, and the curiosity it has sparked — perhaps beginning with Aristotle, who once questioned the strange tides at this very strait (2) and compared them to phenomena in the human body (3).

The work highlights gravity not only as a physical force or curvature of spacetime but also as an underused renewable resource, as in tidal power generation. Despite its reliability and potential, tidal energy remains vastly underutilized — only around five plants operate commercially worldwide. In this context, the installation becomes a poetic appeal to emotional maturity and inner equilibrium as foundations for ecological, technological, and social transformation.

At its heart, “A Day Longer Than a Day” reflects on the connection between natural forces and human behavior. The chaotic reality at the Euripus, caused by the gravitational interplay of Sun, Earth, and Moon, becomes a poetic metaphor for the contradictions within the human soul: our shifting motives, dissonant behaviors like short-term economic thinking, and the push-pull between impulse and awareness of the conditions of our environmental surroundings.
