Seven Digit Clock

2018

Aluminium, steel
195 x 55 x 120 cm

Seven Digit Clock questions our concept of time and subsequently destroys our trust in this established system. Nothing is certain, time is running back and forward, fast and slow or is the clock really trying to say something ..?

A program especially made for Atelier Van Lieshout controls the panels of the clock. Seconds sometimes last for years, years last for minutes and every now and then words appear instead of a series of numbers. The figures of Seven Digit Clock have deliberately been given an audible rhythm. The work rattles and clicks and but the moments of silence say just as much.

Seven Digit Clock (2018) was part of the following exhibition(s):
World Expo 2020, The Netherlands Pavilion, Dubai (UAE), 2020
