installation, 25 mechanic alarm clocks
1995, Amszterdam

25 mechanic alarm-clocks construct this clockwork. In the back of the clocks the keys rotate counterclockwise, but at the same speed as the clock hands. The rotating keys move the clocks on the ground. The movement is random and extremely slow. The movement is invisible. The 5x5 matrix-ordered clocks 'disorder' in two days.

Click the small image below to see an animation of real time photos, and there is also a model show the movement of the clocks.
