Bettina Pousttchi at Art Basel Miami Beach | Meridians
—
We are delighted to participate at Art Basel Miami Beach with the presentation of World Time Clock by Bettina Pousttchi at the curated Meridians sector.
World Time Clock is an ongoing, lifelong photographic project by Bettina Pousttchi. Since 2008 the artist has been traveling to different time zones around the globe to photograph a public clock at the same time: 1:55pm. Over the years, a world-spanning artwork has emerged that maps an “imaginary global synchronism,” connecting cities from Bangkok to Mexiko City, Tashkent to Cape Town.
The aspect of traveling becomes a performative gesture shaping this conceptual work about the political and social organization of time and space. At once poetic and political, World Time Clock reveals how systems of timekeeping reflect histories of colonial reach and cultural imitation, addressing questions about time, globalization and transnationality.
