Visual studies Installation work

In this session we started looking at people that work with installation pieces we looked at quite a lot of people some of them being, Bruce Nauman, Stan douglas, Francis Alys, Tacita Dean and Marina Abramovic just to name a few but one particular name that holly suggested that I look at was Christian Marclay and a work of his called The Clock.

This is a fascinating piece where Marclay has put together hundreds of film clips to make up a clock which goes all the way round exactly right, and even though I've only seen a small part of it, it’s interesting to see the transition and method that he’s used to put it together, I also find it interesting because it makes you think about time and the movement of time.
The reason Holly mentioned this work to me was because of an idea change that I had, where I still include my original video, purely because it fits in as well, but I also video a lot of other thing that are effected by time, which covers everything really but I’m more thinking things like the tide, cloud and how they move, traffic people walking, car, the steam rising of a cup of tea, as much stuff as I can think of really, then I’ll put it all together, I’m not sure how but it’ll be layered, weather I put it all together so you see it all at the same time or I might spread them out, I’ll have to work that out.
The idea is the look at time and existence, and how everything is happening at the same time despite the fact that we can’t see it, but I also hope on some level to put the idea of the One-electron universe, which is a hypothesis the suggests that there is only one electron in the universe, that move though space and time in a way which means it can be everywhere at the same time, meaning that everything is connected, what happened 3000 years ago, happened for this electron at the same time I’m righting this, which is an amazing and inspiring idea, but putting that in my work will be interesting.
