Daisuke Yamashiro--The alarm rings every hour

daisuke yamashiro--The alarm rings every hour
installation view

Each person has a different feeling of the length of one hour.
A synchronous event can cross space and connect distant people to the same time.

I place a wristwatch with an alarm clock in the exhibition space.
Same as the wristwatch I am always wearing. I wear the same watch to the exhibition. The watches both indicate Japan standard time.

The alarm delimits the time that I am using in Japan and the time of the exhibition in NY at the same time.

And, I think of the exhibition every time the alarm rings in Japan.
And, I imagine my watch delimiting every hour in the exhibition space.

The sound of the alarm synchronises me to the viewer in the distant exhibition space, and that viewer to me.

Watch

Darling, I do hope that it is a Cartier watch, or at least Gucci. One judges character on those sorts of things in the world I inhabit.
