Christian Marclay’s iconic video installation, The Clock which debuted at White Cube in 2010 opens at The Tate Modern this September. Film clips of clocks, watches, or references to the time are pieced together into a 24-hour montage that is a time-piece in itself. The clips are taken from over 100 years worth of films – thrillers, westerns, sci-fi and more, with each clip lasting just a few minutes allowing time to unravel in various directions at once.
Strangely mesmerising time slips away as you sit watching – if you’re really dedicated you can stay for the full 24 hours on 6 October, 3 November and 1 December 2018.
