Patrick Bernatchez’s latest series bears the working title “Lost in Time” and encompasses a large number of works that employ diverse artistic media. These are currently at very different stages of conception or realisation. A central element of the series is “BW (BlackWatch, 2010)”, an unusual watch realised byBernatchez in collaboration with the recognised clockmaker Roman Winiger. “BW” consists of an empty black watch-face with only one hand, which requires exactly one thousand years for a single revolution, so that its movement is imperceptible to the human eye. In Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Bernatchez is now presenting the first results of work on the “Lost in Time” project, entitled “Die Zeit Verschlingt” (Time Devours). The project interlinks tangible and abstract aspects of the phenomenon “time” and so creates a weave of differing dimensions of reality. Bernatchez‘s project is an invitation to immerse ourselves in the dizzying labyrinth of infinity, including those dimensions of time that are incomprehensible to man.
