Standard Time de Mark Formanek: una escultura sobre el tiempo, un reloj construido por personas.

"The spectator looking at Standard Time does not only see the time, but also people constructing it. People who, with a stoic sense of duty, are wasting time on an apparently useless activity that fulfills only one function: to display time." http://www.standard-time.com

The image above is of a piece of work called Standard Time by Mark Formanek (in collaboration with Datenstrudel) A quote taken from the Standard Time site: „Standard Time is a performance lasting exactly 24 hours and recorded on film. However, this film is much more than just the recording of an action, the recording of something that has taken place in the past; it is also a clock. A clock for use right now and in the future which, as each day goes by, extends further into the past, but is still up-to-date and punctual”. Mark Formanek
