Product details

This piece was inspired by a documentary about people who live their life according to metric time. I was fascinated by the strength of commitment these people had to an idea that was so strongly set against the status quo. Metric time enthusiasts view time almost as a religion that guides their life. For the opening of this piece I have used irregular bars to represent the competing metric and imperial times eventually with the metric time prevailing. After which the piece is divided into four segments. The first three being Leisure, Love and Work. The final segment is a combination of all three representing the struggle of organizing one's life under any sort of formal rule including metric time.
