In Person: Julia Feyrer

“Broken Clocks” is a selectrospective of Victoria-born, Vancouver-based artist Julia Feyrer’s looping image works and 16mm films originally shown as installations. Clocks, perhaps like anything else with a face, have a mechanism behind them. In these films, we see the defaced visages of several timekeepers, stripped of most of their composite numbers, and a number of clocks whose faces read an accusatory ​“WHO CARES?” as if to scold the hegemony of a schedule. Feyrer seizes the time-based media to show its mechanism manipulated, coming to a slapstick stand-still, and offers us the notion of time with a funny facelift.
