The World After: Conversation Pieces: Absolute Time and Relative Time


Show gallery or Scroll for more

In 2019, Smári Róbertsson created a subtle but powerful intervention for the clock of the Vater-Müllerorgan of the Oude Kerk. For 11 weeks, every minute, the hour hand turned twenty-four hours back in time, eventually reaching back beyond the moment when the clock was made: the year 1724. For 'The World After', Róbertsson thought about how we can rethink our position as humans in relation to nature. How we can reclaim time from the absolute, as a subjective experience.
