Dream Alarm Clock A1

Composed of readymades mounted on acrylic, this sculptural work manifests from a dream-state image in which the instrument of timekeeping is rendered inert, yet ideologically activated. Translated from the unconscious with forensic fidelity, the piece exposes the apparatus of temporality not as a neutral measure but as a metaphysical constraint—an artefact of control embedded in both capitalist ritual and psychic structure. Kyle Yip encodes this object with symbolic multiplicity: a portal, a rupture, a warning. Time here is neither linear nor cyclical, but recursive—a pulse that conditions desire, habit, and hallucination alike. The sculpture stages a confrontation between automation and awareness, repurposing the alarm clock as an ontological irritant that oscillates between the sacred and the mechanistic. Positioned within the AWAKENING series, the work functions both as a direct representation of its original dream-source and as a phenomenological cipher—an interface through which the stakes of sleep, sentience, and symbolic order are rendered momentarily visible.
