Paper Clock
Monumental, fully functional clock hand made entirely out of paper, without using any additional materials.
It’s construction based on a traditional clockwork movement was created experimentally with a huge amount of labour. Gravitationally powered by paper weights it allows alternative time measuring.The project combines artists experiments both with paper as a fragile and obsolescent matter and searching for alternative solutions in engineering work with the machine. In this case clock, that is supposed to be a tool for precise measure of reality, is practically useless: it tells the time incorrectly and its dial is impossible to read.
Its sense, conditioned by the denial, is an exemplification of the resistance towards the homogeneous development of technology. Stepping back to an analogue form becomes a programmatic contestation of technological culture.
