Digital Sculpture: Metronome by Sarah Size (Peckham Rye Station 2023)

The Waiting Room opens to the public with a site-specific sculptural work by New York-based artist Sarah Sze. Her new work, Metronome, transforms the long-forgotten vaulted space at Peckham Rye Station with a dense matrix of thin stainless steel tubing, torn paper pieces and moving imagery. Sze says: “I’ve always been interested in certain times throughout history where our relationship to the way we experience time and space in the world speeds up radically... We are in the middle of an extreme hurricane where we are learning to speak through images at an exponential pace.” In response to this ‘extreme hurricane’, The Waiting Room at Peckham Rye Station offers a model of time and space that reflects and interrogates our volatile world.
