We always complain about time but we don't realize we use it for stupid things like getting annoyed and being angry on material things. We allow so much time to run past us and still we don't have time for our soul, for the things that make us happy.
Talking about time, the artist Christian Marclay did a fascinating installation art about time called 'The Clock'.
‚The Clock’ is a 24 hour film with different types of movie scenes where the time is present or where people speak about it. Sometimes the time is just showed in the background. It is about people running out of time, or people having plenty of time.
I’ve never seen the installation art but I read about it and I find it interesting.
The way the artist is expressing time and how the film is created so that the time from the scenes coincides with the real time.
I think he wanted to show how quickly all of the things pass from our lives. How all the things can change from one day to the next and how quickly we evolved as a spicy.

Christian Marclay is a Swiss-American visual artist and composer.
Marclay’s work explores the field of sound, noise, photography, video and film. He uses gramophone records and turntables as musical instruments. His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the late 1970s, was developed independently of but roughly parallel to hip hop’s use of the instrument.

Another brilliant installation art similar to ‘The Clock’ is the "The Telephone". The artist makes an interpretation of his own regard human contact and relationships between them in some way that he creates a story line between different characters.
He takes simple scenes from movies and puts them together in some way that makes sense to all of us. He creates art from other people’s work, which I think is another way of seeing their work. He takes it to a whole different level because of his own way of seeing the world.
‘The Telephone’
„Christian Marclay’s “Telephones” (1995), a 7 1/2-minute compilation of brief Hollywood film clips that creates a narrative of its own. These linked-together snippets of scenes involve innumerable well-known actors such as Cary Grant, Tippi Hedren, Ray Milland, Humphrey Bogart and Meg Ryan, who dial, pick up the receiver, converse, react, say good-bye and hang up.”
