Christian Marclay

Christian Marclay routinely makes photographs during his daily walks through London, where he now lives. By subtly editing many thousands of images of the pavement beneath his feet, Marclay has created hypnotic animations that unlock new possibilities inherent in the concept of “street photography.”

Photography has been an integral element of Marclay’s practice since his earliest years as an artist. With an eye keenly (and paradoxically) attuned to sound-related subject matter, his photographs function both as source material for his works in other media as well as sophisticated, subtle works of art on their own terms.
