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 dada?

Also known as Dadaism, Dada was a literary and artistic movement that began in 1916 in Zurich, Switzerland. It emerged as a rejection of rationalism and nationalism, which were seen as contributing factors to World War I. The movement had political undertones and was strongly anti-war. Dada activities included demonstrations, gatherings, and the publication of literary and art journals that explored cultural and political topics.
