Christian Marclay’s masterwork, The Clock, 2010, an epic, 24-hour single channel video with sound. Winner of the Golden Lion Award at the 2011 Venice Biennale and widely acclaimed as one of the most significant works of art of the 21st century, The Clock is both a profound meditation about time and an homage to the history of cinema.

Marclay’s video is structured as a montage of thousands of film clips, in black and white and in color, collected over the course of three years. Each clip references a moment in time, whether in dialogue or as indexed to a timepiece – a clock, watch, hourglass, sundial, or blinking LED alarm clock – covering in chronological sequence the entire span of a day, minute by minute. Synchronized to the local time, the video is itself a timepiece. The Clock is also a soundscape composed by Marclay, using the rhythms of sound and music to track the passage of time.
