Christian Marclay’s The Clock (2010) is a 24-hour cinematic collage made from thousands of film and TV clips, each showing the exact time they represent in real life. It’s both a mesmerizing tour through movie history and a reminder that time never stops moving.

This month, The Brooklyn Rail takes on The Clock with a special feature in its Critics Page, bringing together 24 voices from across disciplines—✨including Catherine Gund✨—to reflect on Marclay’s monumental work. One writer for each hour. They call it "chronographic criticism"—a time-based approach to time-based media that mirrors The Clock's layered, cumulative structure. If you’ve never encountered this piece before, or if you spend time thinking about time, cinema and criticism, this is a read for you.
