Clock of Centuries
Guðrún Arndís Tryggvadóttir 2013
The Clock of Centuries is a visual presentation of time and an attempt to demonstrate regeneration through direct female descent. The form is a clock; each circle is one century and the individuals of the female line placed in their birth years as far as records reach, or to the year 1685. The closest to us in time is my daughter, born in 1988, followed by myself in 1958 and my mother in 1938 and thus it proceeds further back. On average these equals three generations in a century.
