------------------------------------
10 Jahre Zeit / 10 years time (2012) is a shadowy apex of the passing of ten years by Austrian artist Eva-Maria Raab. The original clock now removed, all that is left of this slice of wall from her studio in Vienna is a nail hole and a halo of faded wallpaper. Every ray of light that licked colour from around the edge of the clock has contributed to an unseen marking of time that ran in synergy with the movement of the clock’s hands.
