If you do nothing else between now, and the 13th of November - get yourselves along to the White Cube gallery in Mayfair for this... http://www.whitecube.com/exhibitions/cm/ tickets are FREE.... a film called The Clock.
'The Clock' is constructed out of moments in cinema when time is expressed or when a character interacts with a clock, watch or just a particular time of day. Marclay has excerpted thousands of these fragments and edited them so that they flow in real time. While 'The Clock' examines how time, plot and duration are depicted in cinema, the video is also a working timepiece that is synchronised to the local time zone. At any moment, the viewer can look at the work and use it to tell the time.
