Island of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

The project is located between the Diomede Islands, on the USA-Russia Maritime Border, and International Date Line. Although the islands are only 4 kilometers away from each other, they are separated by a 24-hour difference. During World War II, Big Diomede was transformed into Russian military base, and the native population was resettled to the continent. Today, Little Diomede is still occupied by natives looking for their resettled families. The Island of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow originates from one post, a moment of singularity that brings together all political, cultural, and climatic conditions to a single point. The post has a specific shape that enables the collection of snow and allows the abstract geographic point to become an island during time. This island is an inaccessible clock located on the border between two countries, never remaining the same on any given day, and existing only to observe how time passes.
