Have you ever fallen in love with a clock?

A simple black and white clock face, with the days of the week written out around the edge in my handwriting. The hand currently points to Friday.
A small black clock hung underneath a stairwell between two doors.
A clock hangs above a cheery, red, built-in couch. In the background, a glimpse of the exhibition space down the hall.

Description:
A set of clocks. Unlike typical clocks that show the hour and minute, these clocks indicate only the day of the week. Each clock has a hand that moves extremely slowly, making a full rotation once every seven days.

Installed in the museum to mark spots where visitors might rest or wait. For example, across from the built-in couch where you would wait for a friend using the bathroom. Or at the front desk.

Commissioned by MMK Frankfurt for Crip Time.
