Window 42 is pleased to introduce to London audiences the work of italian artist Gianni Motti. The big crunch clock was launched for the first time the 1st january 1999. With its 20 digital number, the clock is decounting the 5 milliards years before the explosion of the sun. After claiming responsability for events such as earhquake or total lunar eclipse, Motti confronts us this time with our own millenarian fears. Gianni Motti, whose art often makes free use of the public domain, loves to play with events. Infiltrating the 53rd session of human rights conference as the indonesia delegate, campaigning for the american election or inviting the colombian president to psychotherapy seance, Motti's work may at times ressemble a practical joke, but it campaigns subtly and incessantly against a society that is reluctantly seeking to effect change or at the very least confronts individuals with unconfortable questions.
