I had a lot of fun in
exploring at Wexner Center. This is actually my second time going there. This
time, i appreciated the video work of Christian Marclay and some pictures
provided by FSA. Christian Marclay is a man who is obsessed about time.The
exhibition is mainly a film that is about a 24-hour compilation of
time-related scenes. What interested is, you will forget time when sitting
there and watching. But you will be reminded about all the time in the
film. Christian Marclay made this film by editing various film clip
related with time. It took him two years to make such piece but it did not take
longer to watch that. This film amazes me, as it is really a great perform
essay on film and I think my world is like reconfigured. When I finished
watching, it seemed everything is about the time. Time is for no one; it still
continues no matter what happened to you.
Another exhibition is called 'More American Photographs'. The immense size of the photos
that line the walls telling about the Great Depression, even although the pictures do not need any help in speaking for
themselves. My favorite piece of the exhibit would have to be Hank Willis
Thomas’Strawberry Mansion. It is a sort of folding card display of a long
street made up of 72 compiled prints. In it the viewer sees boarded up houses
contrasted with the broad smiles of those posing for the photo. The severity of
the times is evident along with the simplicity and hopefulness of human nature
to persist. Come see for yourself and witness that no matter the time,
Americans have the ability to endure
