Focusing our work on clocks and time, we are in the process of creating our own digital clock to project throughout our piece onto the doors of Gallery 3. We photographed ourselves in the positions of each number from 0-9, and using an animation software, these photographs will become a clock, ticking down from 24 hours.
The reason for us wearing white is in order for our clock to stand out against the midnight blue of the Gallery’s interior. The digital clock will contrast the traditional Grandfather clocks which are present in the Gallery, and will structure our piece which represents a 24 hour day. Our piece is also physical with lots of mime and movement, so making a clock using our bodies will be an interesting visual addition.
We were inspired to create this from watching similar work by other artists, finding it both interesting and highly effective to watch.
