The Clock by Crisitan Marclay
Finally I got a chance to see widely-discussed artwork The Clock.
24-hours screening was at Southbank Centre on the last weekend.
"The Clock is a montage of clips from several thousand films, showing scenes featuring clocks and watches, or situations indicating a particular time of day."
My notes:
1. After half a hour you do really feel like sitting and watching it as you know it runs non-stop
2. But, unfortunately, I didn't have longer time to watch it, but I was wondering if to spend there several hours or even 24 hours - it might create some other levels of understanding this work
3. It's a weird to sit some time and watch and, as typical happens in cinema, trying to check the time on your hand but realize that actually it shows you on the screen.
4. I found interesting the the artist tried to make a story, not just cuts with watches and clocks.
5. It's interesting as well as most of scenes from the films have some drama in them. I mean if the time becomes matter in the plot of the movie, there must be some drama about it (someone is late, too early, killed, waiting, threathen etc)
