Christian Marclay

Christian Marclay is an artist and musician whose work explores relationships between images and sound. Emerging from underground music scenes in Boston and New York, he has used found material across performance, sculpture, photography, painting, print and video.

His 2010 work The Clock assembles film and television excerpts into a continuous twenty-four-hour sequence. References to time within the clips correspond to the local time where it is shown, making the installation function both as a montage of cinema history and as a working clock.
