Stretching across the long steel sheet surface,

this piece illustrates temporal sedimentation, forming an abstracted living timeline.

Taking a different perspective on geological layering, this piece consists of over 30 videos, compacted together into a format similar to the material layers of All of the Horizons. Based on the idea that all of time happens simultaneously, each of the 50+ clips progresses with its own speed and duration, but is perceived from a temporal wholeness known only to us as observers. The middle section also implies the existence of two unidentified entities whose poetic ruminations feature as subtitles over the flickering composition.

Carbon Dating and Mnemonic Logs was presented at  Fractured Continuum (9 March - 30 April 2025Sound Art Museum, Beijing, China), curated by Cheng Xi and art director Yu Er. Culminating Christova's 2-month residency with Elsewhere Culture and Dulwich College Beijing, the exhibition featured a series of works developed during her time in Beijing, as well as pieces and performances by local guest artists Ning An, Li Yanzheng, Xu Han and Yang Yu.
