In ’An Arrangement for the Architect and a Darkroom Timer,’ Nipper chronicles interpersonal, physical and metaphysical changes over the passing of time. The multifaceted piece includes videos and sculptural elements comprised of three projections and a maquette for a fantastical tiered stage. In the first video, a man and a woman, who face each other at close range, engage in a seemingly endless stare. Their encounter actually lasts 60 minutes, a time span that is punctuated by the buzz of a darkroom timer found on the floor of the room. The video is projected twice at different places in the film, in side-by-side format of the couple and of a lone apple splitting in half and reforming into a whole.
