NADA New York 2024

The left part of the corner work shows a painted half clock face which has moon phases and a half butterfly instead of numbers. The right part is a mirrored panel of the same size. The mirror completes the half clock face to a full circle with a full moon cycle on it. The second hand ticks for 3 seconds and touches the mirror before it goes back in a quick sole movement. Experiments have found that the time we experience as the present is 3 seconds long. The clock (like of course every other clock) is trapped in the present. We can see its past, the painted half clock face, but the hand can never reach the future, as it cannot enter the mirror.
