Clockwork II.
black and white photographs, photopaper
1995, Amsterdam
A memento mori (Latin remember that you will die
) is an artistic or symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death.
The second Clockwork are photos of clocks. Augustinus wrote a whole long chapter in His Confessiones about the time. The time does not fit
into the European civilization: we can not manipulate it. Clocks - in contradiction most of the machines - have can not manipulate their subject. All of them is a memento mori
, like the sun-clock of the Benedictiner Monastery of Pannonhalma. Its text: One of these hours will be your last one
. Where do point the hands of the clocks? What mean a sign transformed by geometry?
