So I’ve been meaning to get to the MFA all semester and now that I’m done finals, I finally went yesterday. While I was there I saw the exhibit that they have showing Christian Marclay’s film, The Clock (2010). So basically the film is a composition of thousands of clips from a large range of films, each showing one minute of the 24 hours in the day. The coolest part is that it’s played so that it is synchronized with the accurate time wherever in the world it is played. Therefore, when I went in the theatre at 5:27, the scene playing showed the time 5:27. So each clip has some sort of time-telling device such as watches, clock towers, sundials, alarm clocks, and so on. It’s really interesting to take a look at and apparently took several years to find and compile all the videos, i can;t even imagine how difficult that must of been. Anyways it’s still playing til December 31 and the MFA is free for us so you should check it out if you’re interested!
