Michael Marcovici / Rolex Time Sand
23Jan09
Rolex Time Sand is an installation by Michael Marcovici. One bag is filled with 30 kgs of sand, which equals 30 days flowing in a standard hourglass. On the 18 palets, there are 972 bags with a total weight of 29.160 kg. They last for 81 years- our generous estimation of an average lifestime. The image in the middle pictures the artist’s lifetime already consumed: 39 years.

So this concept of a watch is interesting and all but how do wrap it around your wrist? Also who wants to be reminded how many more bags of sand they have left before their life should end….. strange.
I think we should rename Marcovici the “pallet” artist since he likes to create art on pallets. What do you think?
