Timepieces

Katie Paterson’s Timepieces provokes us to reconsider everyday timekeeping by presenting the time on other celestial bodies. These nine clocks show the current time on other planets and our moon. All the clocks use standard Earth hours and minutes to measure time. Our own familiar units of time may seem absolute and unchanging. But clock time depends on celestial rhythms, and solar days are radically different elsewhere in our universe.
