About the Artist

Christian Marclay (b. 1955, San Rafael, CA) is an American contemporary artist recognized for his innovative exploration of sensory experiences and perception. Marclay’s work merges different media, including sound, illustration, photography, and video, creating a unique interplay between visual and auditory elements. In works such as Plop Plop Plop Fwoof, he translates his fascination with sound into a visual, two-dimensional medium.

One of Marclay’s most renowned pieces is The Clock, a film that synchronizes time in movies with real time, offering a visual exploration of the human experience of time. His art frequently repurposes objects such as vinyl records or video footage, transforming them to reveal new meanings. The Clock won the Golden Lion award at the 2011 Venice Biennale, and Marclay’s work has been exhibited in leading museums worldwide, including solo shows at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art."
