What do we actually measure when we measure time? Through a critique of the familiar concept of timekeeping, 'Timepiece #1' invites dialogue around hegemonic notions of time in the current age of the Anthropocene. In contrast to conventional clocks, whose purpose is to position us in a precise yet narrow indication of ‘now’, this clock presents ‘now’ as an unspecified and extended duration which exists beyond the length of a day, and asks us to engage in long term thinking. A metal hand wears away the rock as it rotates; the clock becomes a measure of its own time and materiality.
