Multiple with watch-parts in plexi-box and book. The multiple and the book (full of lithographs) are both numbered and signed // Passe Temps by Arman Fernandez, created in 1971, is an intriguing mixed media piece housed in a plexiglass box, combining watch parts with a printed background. This limited edition artwork, part of a series of 150, juxtaposes fragmented timepieces against the backdrop of faded text that spells out ARMAN and PASSE TEMPS. The disassembled watch elements—gears, springs, and dials—symbolize both the passage of time and its deconstruction, a recurring theme in Arman's work as he often used everyday objects to explore concepts of temporality and obsolescence. The transparency of the box invites viewers to examine the delicate intricacies of each part, prompting reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the beauty found in dismantled, once-functional objects.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
