This first monograph on the conceptual work of the Montreal-based artist features fifteen years of prodigious creation around the investigation of time. A wristwatch that takes an entire
millennium to to complete one rotation (Lost in Time), and a film depicting a pianist suspended from the ceiling of a concert hall playing a piece by Guillaume Lekeu (180簞) are just of few of
the works that address and in fact embody the concept of transformation. Three original essays explore, in Bernatchez's video and musical works, a central notion of time that is linear,
cyclical, reinvented, immaterial, and yet sensed in body and soul. In English and French.
