Down the Drain Clock

2018

Mixed media
64 x 90 x 196 cm

A computer-controlled hourglass turns over fast, running empty in mere seconds. Time is gone before you had a chance to blink twice. This makes this hourglass useless to attach any sense of time calculation to. Time slips through our fingers like sand and valuable minutes are lost.

With this work Atelier Van Lieshout deconstructs time, redefines our idea and understanding of time and takes away the certainty of time moving forward.

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