Published in Time Out London, 23 July 2009
A sweep of 27 clocks is arranged around the gallery in that way that offices do to make them look international – displaying time in London, Paris, New York and so on (why doesn’t Time Out have these?). In Mexico City it’s a quarter past fatigue, in Buenos Aires it’s just after ecstasy and in Shangri La it’s half past awe. There’s also panic in Beijing and Jakarta, but the beauty of these altered timepieces is that they will read differently every time you look. This is an international community of adjectives we all share, or at least we have done since 9/11, when words like fear and anxiety began to spread across our borders like flu pandemics.
