This month-long performance involved going door to door in Eastport, Maine, asking each person I encountered to let me document a specific minute of the day by taking a photograph of one of their clocks. Because clocks are everywhere, I went everywhere a clock might be, visiting homes, businesses, schools, hospitals. I eventually captured each of the 720 minutes that appear on a clock’s face between 12 AM and 12 PM, with every minute displayed by a different clock – from wrist watches to bedside alarm clocks to the digital clocks on kitchen microwaves. It was a site-specific portrait of time as it is lived and kept by real people in small town America.
