Christian Marclay: The Clock
“With only two more showings, time is ticking away...”
White Cube, 25-26 Mason’s Yard, London SW1Y 6BU | 020 7930 5373 | More information
Christian Marclay's film, 'The Clock' - now showing at White Cube, Mason's Yard - is long. Twenty-four hours long to be precise. 'The Clock' is a cinematic collage of moments in film, when particular times have been referenced or featured. Marclay has zipped together thousands of these film fragments so that they then flow in real time. The narratives in 'The Clock' are of course disconnected, but this purely shifts what makes it a gripping cinematic experience; viewers are enthralled not with story line, but with the concept of time slippage.
And it really is addictive viewing - you wont believe how much time slips away. Well actually you will, while 'The Clock' examines and reveals the conventions and devices through which filmmakers create a persuasive illusion of duration, the film is also a working timepiece that is synchronised to the local time zone. At any moment, the viewer can look at the work and use it to tell the time.
But go quickly. As like myself, time waits for no man.
From 10am on Thursday 4th November until 6pm on Saturday 6th November.
From 10am on Thursday 11th November until 6pm on Saturday 13th November, when the exhibition closes.
