[Frameworks] Films about the clock

[Beebe, Roger W.]

From the art world side of things (which adds to the evidence confirming your hunch below, Albert), is "Standard Time" by Mark Formanek, which migrated from performance to video:

I saw it as a small installation in a gallery right off of Alexanderplatz in Berlin maybe 4 years ago.

That article led me to this other work which I didn’t know before, “Real Time” by Maarten Baas, who apparently comes from the design world:

More food for thought.

Thank you for those new suggestions.

Roger Beebe, maybe what is happening nowadays is that those artists interested on "that kind of rigid formal investigation", around the clock, easy to link with structural film, have changed their mediums. This is something Tyler Maxin has already noted. Instead of cinema or video they use some other digital tools for their projects. I'm thinking this realizing what's behind a piece like Zero Noon (2013) by Rafael Lozano-Hammer: "a digital clock that shows the current time according to eccentric metrics". (http://www.lozano-hemmer.com/zero_noon.php) or The Pirate Cinema (2012-214) by Nicolas Maigret (http://peripheriques.free.fr/blog/index.php?/works/2012-the-pirate-cinema-/)

Hello frameworkers,

I’m trying to write a short article in spanish about different notions of time concerning contemporary experimental film and video. Since the concept of “time related to cinema” is almost impossible to delimit I have decided to concentrate just about the clock.

So, i’m searching films and videos where the clock is an important object/issue for the development of the piece. By now I have just found appropiation works as 60 Seconds (2002) by Christoph Girardet and The Clock (2012) by Christian Marclay but i’m sure there are dozens.

There’s a brilliant film by Chris Gallagher named Time Being (2009) that could also be useful to theorize some ideas but I need some more titles.

Any suggestions?

Thank you all,

Best,
Albert
