CHRISTIAN MARCLAY - THE CLOCK, BERARDO COLLECTION MUSEUM →
The Clock, a piece from north-american artist Christian Marclay, is a 24 hours experience in which the artist tries to represent every single minute of a day. The result, which took three years to be produced, is a film composed by thousands of movie clips.
The Clock comes to Lisbon after a tour of London, New York and Paris that made the piece a hit. When it was premiered five years ago it was welcomed with rave reviews and it’s easy to understand why. Contemporary art is often megalamaniac, but rarely so on point with the way we live and 0ur perception of the world. After all, The Clock is a real life clock in which every clip is aligned with real time.
