What The Clock Is About

Christian Marclay's 2010 work is an edit that runs twenty-four hours. Scenes showing clocks were selected from thousands of films and arranged in order of time. The screening is matched to the local time where the viewer is. The time on screen is the actual time; there is no narrative, yet as the scenes join, expectation and tension form on their own. The work was shown in museums and galleries and was not designed to be watched end to end. The variety of the source films is the real material of the edit. Who it's for: those who like video art and thinking about editing. Who it's not for: viewers who want to watch a film; this is an installation.
