Abstract

From the piece The Clock (2010) by Christian Marclay −which consists in a 24-hour audiovisual montage of alluding time scenes−, the function of time representation systems is questioned as part of the language that articulates art today. Under the premise that the entry of time in art makes visible a series of paradoxes about our own relationship with time (understood as linear, administered and technically mediated time), it is asked about the current -altered- disposition of time as an orientation system in the world, as art material and as a constituent part of the experience.
