| L'Heure Pour Tous, 1985, bronze, 700 cm tall, Gare St. Lazare, Paris |
"Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life."
- William Faulkner
Outside a train station in Paris (the Gare St. Lazare to be exact) there is an accumulation of bronze clocks.
L'Heure Pour Tous (Time for All), with its many faces, looks down on hundreds of Parisians and tourists everyday, rushing by. All with somewhere to go, a train to catch, a deadline to meet - a clock to beat.
To stop and look up at these clocks you see that they do not move. They are all stopped on different times. It becomes a silent memorial to lost time.
