More quotes by Christian Marclay
You can get so many sounds out of one record. Every record can be used in some way.
Christian Marclay
Record Without A Cover' was about allowing the medium to come through, making a record that was not a document of a performance but a record that could change with time, and would be different from one copy to the next.
Christian Marclay
It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.
Christian Marclay
I've worked with collage a lot. And there's this chance thing that happens - you don't always control things. Why did you find this today and not this? But you've got this thing, and you make it work. It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.
Christian Marclay
I've never been a big cinephile, which may be why I could treat 'The Clock' like a puzzle and force the pieces to fit together in odd ways.
Christian Marclay
As an artist, you're always somewhat obscure. We're not talking Hollywood.
Christian Marclay
I have never been much of a painter.
Christian Marclay
Photography is solitary and there are lags between seeing with your eyes and seeing through the lens, and then seeing the image on your computer... I often see things after the fact. So there’s a revelatory quality. And this definitely includes a sense of playfulness, because you’re not sure what the consequences are going to be.
Christian Marclay
If you make something good and interesting and not ridiculing someone or being offensive, the creators of the original material will like it.
Christian Marclay
We go to the movies to forget about time, to be in a dream state. And it's entertainment, distraction, from the fact that everything is kind of crumbling in front of our eyes.
Christian Marclay
The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.
Christian Marclay
People who care about records are always giving me a hard time. I mean, I would destroy records in performances, and break them, and whatever I could do to them to create a sound that was something else than just the sound that was in the groove.
Christian Marclay
It's good to get away from the editing suite. It's very unhealthy to be sitting in front of the screen for too long.
Christian Marclay
Art is all in the details.
