I love Christian Marclay’s The Clock, it works so well on so many levels. Bringing attention to the time all the time, all of the cinematic conventions of clocks/time in film, using the escapism of cinema and flipping it, and giving the audience this multiple experience of time simultaneously.
His simple idea of grouping all moments that are similar in film like Telephones, Video Quartet etc. Bringing attention to moments in film and film language, while making a new narrative from the pieces, collaging together, creating tension between the audience/human tendency to create a narrative from a reading of film.
