The conceptual clock “Green Moon” by Hemerson Costa comes from idea that time is something that goes accumulating and that becomes irreversible. For such, each hour, each minute that if depletes is always remained present, as part of a past that does not vanish, remaining itself, always illuminated and shining. The design of the watch consists in a non concentric circle, as a main structure. The shape was inspired in the moon, selected for it mysticism as a structuring element of the time.

Hemerson Costa, “Green Moon”

Ricardo Jeronimo’s answer to the invitation for exhibition was an object with a deep conceptual charge, with the aim of giving an original and radical reading of “what is time” in present times. The object is composed by a black polished acrylic circle with 30 centimeters of diameter in witch “orbit” 2 metallic spheres: the bigger and with a larger orbit representing the hours, and the smaller one representing minutes, the spheres are hold in place using magnetic forces. This points travel throughout space and time symbolizing not a concept of singular time, but an universal time. Free and mysterious. For me it looked probably weirdest of all the clocks (more object from astronomy studies than a clock itselft), but that only gave it most of mine affection. Nice work!

Tiago Nunes’s “Timeline” is also weird enough but also catching. The author says, that time it is what we better can call “a life constant” that always follows us and by which we rule our lives. There are many ways we can represent this notion of intervals our periods of time.

“Timeline” bases it self on the time representation of History, where the key events are signalled in a segmented line, to symbolise the “daily time”. By an assemblage of led light, the time is represented by an interrupted line to signal the hours and the minutes. The clock it’s an escape from the conventional circular clock, evident in the linearity of the hour/minutes display and also in the clock shape.

Andre Gouveia, “Serie2”

Andre Gouveia “Serie2” is consequence of elaboration of variouse technics used to create clocks, such as stencil, serigraphy, offset, etc. Created directly on the wall of FABRICA Features Lisboa it looks like a normal part of the gallery.

Miguel Andrade, “One”

Tic tac tic tac. Times goes every second, but this clock is really static. More a sculpture than a clock. “One” by Miguel Andrade.
