Stories From Home, 2001

I placed a time clock in my apartment for 10 months in 2001.  Myself, as well as all visitors, would punch in when entering the apartment and punch out upon leaving; creating a detailed record of mostly numerical information.  The collection of over 100 time cards was installed in a large grid; the vertical columns arrange the cards by chronological weeks and the horizontal rows by each person’s caste, based on personal relationship to the artist.
