ニューヨーク近代美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク近代美術館Instagram)「#LouiseBourgeois’s interpretation of a traditional Book of Hours—the medieval volumes with prayers for each hour of the day—pairs excerpts from her journals with an image of a 24-hour clock. Each time you turn the page the clock strikes a new hour. Throughout the illustrated book, which is digitally printed on fabric, Bourgeois references house arrest, procrastination, a stopped clock. The artist was 96 years old when this book was made; clocks and the passage of time were subjects of a number of works in this period. In number 11 she associates domestic work with time lost. As she proceeds, her tone becomes more hopeful. In number 19 she claims time for herself: “Emptiness in time and in space, I need emptiness, The garden is beautiful and empty, My future, my days, are all clear and empty, I have time.” By the end she invokes sunrise, renewal, and a return of the light.
