Lückenhaft & kryptisch / Ambiguous & incomplete

Ambiguous and Incomplete approaches the artistic practice of Time’s Up through fragments, perspectives, and associative links.

Rather than offering a catalogue of works, the publication provides insights into modes of thinking, networks, and narrative strategies. Diverse voices—from collaborators, observers, critics, and partners—reflect on the processes behind the group’s immersive installations: What does it mean to create experiential environments that disorient, engage, and challenge?

These reflections are interwoven with documentary material: photographs of work processes, glimpses of everyday moments, sketches, and views of installations. The visual content is not merely illustrative; it forms an integral part of the narrative—oscillating between incidental and intentional, between research and outcome.

The book’s design is deliberately modest yet structurally clear and playfully open. It creates space for interpretation and context without becoming didactic—a publication that not only communicates artistic processes but performs them through its very form.

With their origins in interactive media art, the Austro-Australian arts group Time's Up is slowly emerging from their youthful folly and is currently developing physical narratives that explore speculative futures.
