Alongside the first film concept i came up with, i began thinking of yet another film proposal. This time i had the idea of creating a film that would emphasise the repeating nature of time and the way in which we measure time.
Everday the sun goes up and goes down, the hand on the clock goes round and round and this is a constant. It never stops, each day it keeps on going and to me this idea of time is one of the single most significant repetitive notions thats exists, it's constantly self perpetuating.
So i wanted to capture this within a video piece, to make the viewer slightly aware of that fact. Opening their eyes to this concept of time that we all seem to not really consciously pick up on.
The aim of this piece was to have a digital clock projected large scale onto a wall within the exhibition space, not recording the actual time but instead having it set so that for every 10 seconds that went by, the clock would move ahead one minute. This is so the clock projection would cycle through the whole 24hours within a day in a much shorter length of time, to the point where viewers wuld be able to see a more immediate response. If the projection was to move with mormal time, a viewer would literally have to wait within the exhibition space for more then 24hours to know the clock is essentially on a loop. So speeding up the process would cut this time in half and even if any one single viewer didn't see the whole cycle they would be able to experience atleast a good part of it for the duration of their visit.
