Christian Marclay. The Clock

Because of the presentation during the holiday season including New Year’s Eve, this was a very special screening of The Clock by Christian Marclay.

This celebrated work is a cinematic tour de force that unfolds on the screen in real time through thousands of film excerpts that form a 24hour montage. Appropriated from the last one-hundred years of cinema’s rich history, the film clips chronicle the hours and minutes of the 24-hour period, often by displaying a watch or clock. From the legendary to the obscure, The Clock incorporates scenes of car chases, board rooms, emergency wards, bank heists, trysts, high noon shootouts, detective dramas, and silent comedies.
