Time Bomb – The Last Drop of Water
November 13 – November 19, 2023
54 thegallery, 54 Shepherd Market, London W1J 7QX
Installation by David Jacobson, presented by Brooke-Walder Fine Art.
Time Bomb: Last Drop of Water, centres around the looming catastrophe we face across all 24 time zones.
The installation is part memory, part fear and fear born of memory.
David Jacobson was born in Namibia, (the Namib Desert is the oldest desert in the world), and now finds the world potentially dying in one.
While the politics of needless phenomena play themselves out, we are in danger of destroying the very thing that makes our planet unique, that gave us life and gives us life. Water.
The installation was presented by Brooke-Walder Fine Art at Gallery 54, Shepherd Market, London.

Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, Giardini della Marinaressa, Venice – Italy
TIME SPACE EXISTENCE is an interdisciplinary project involving artists, architects, and designers bringing small and large scale installations. The exhibition, organised by the European Cultural Centre – Italy, takes place in the beautiful gardens of Giardini della Marinaressa, Venice.
“Social Distancing/Footprints” is the sculpture that best illustrates the connection, and segue between the stone sculptures intended for the Venice Architecture Biennale that was to open in May 2020 under the auspices of The European Cultural Centre in the Giardini Della Marinaressa and Earth Lung the site-specific sculpture made for Open Space exhibition in the gardens, and my response to Covid19.
Ironically perhaps the original set of footprints were made in 1982 when I never used water. The second pair were made to be included in the Biennale with the stone sculptures. Footprints have always interested me as a signifier for gravity and also of humankind’s presence on earth and the moon. With the arrival of Covid19 and social distancing, I had an opportunity to include these pieces in a purposeful way. May You Live in Interesting times indeed!

Localita Carignoni, Camaiore (Lu), Italia
For a number of years, I have been installing a sculpture garden of my own work in my home in Camaiore. These sculptures include those that expressly address my concerns about water and the abuse of this precious natural resource. I have for the past two decades used water and stone as the predominant materials.
