O´clock
Nadine Grenier, a student at ESAD Strasbourg, made this kinetic installation. It is made of 500 clocksworks and every 12 hours you can read: “le temps passe, et chaque fois qu’il y a du temps passe, il y a quelque chose qui s’efface”, which roughly translates in “Time passes, and every time the time passes, there is something that fades”.

instead of fade ? I would say forget.Positively time helps forgetting bad things.Negatively, as you get hold, your memory loses its power of precision/ you start forgetting things events , good or bad.
Time is like an imaginary hand that rub out ( efface) pieces of memory.
