Duration: 24 hours
a few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to watch a piece of the video art masterpiece The Clock by the American artist Christian Marclay currently based in London.
Produced over the course of two years, Christian Marclay's The Clock combines clips from thousands of films into a 24-hour video collage that also functions as a working clock.
It is so rare to experience an art work and feel you have just witnessed a current masterpiece which will profoundly make its imprint on art history. I will never forget the experience of sitting on the floor in a crowded room watching all the movie bits patched together into a captivating statement about time and western culture.
