Felix Gonzalez-Torres, “Untitled (Perfect Lovers)” (1991)
Initially set to tick in unison, these two battery-operated clocks will eventually - inevitably - fall out of sync with one another. Ever so slightly at first but ultimately, the burgeoning dissimilarities are impossible to ignore. Their continued ticking serves as a metaphor for our sincere perseverance and attempts to maintain this Love in the face of a crumbling balance and growing apart-ness.
