Patrick Bernatchez: Lost in Time

The first monograph dedicated to the conceptual work of Patrick Bernatchez. "Patrick Bernatchez: Lost in Time" is the first monograph devoted exclusively to the conceptual work of artist Patrick Bernatchez. It covers more than fifteen years of work in drawing, mirror-based etching, fashioning curious objects, altering musical compositions, and filmmaking. The main focus is on Bernatchez's latest project, "Lost in Time", which revolves around a wristwatch that takes a millennium to complete a full rotation and includes the film "180[degrees]", in which a musician suspended from a concert hall ceiling performs a piece by Belgium composer Guillaume Lekeu on an equally upended piano. 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.
