Exhibition about time will open in September
This autumn, the Nobel Prize Museum will tackle a major topic in a small exhibition. THEN, NOW, LATER will explore how some Nobel Prize laureates in physics and literature have dealt with the subject of time and have debated its nature. Visitors will also be able to experience a video work in which the artist Marcus Coates follows the movement of a clock, second by second. The exhibition will open on 7 September.
The course of time is an important theme in Annie Ernaux’s writing and life. This alarm clock, that she donated to the museum, is of symbolic importance and it has also had a more direct function for her. Closely linked to when she was writing her novel The Years, it helped her wake up so she would get out of bed and keep working on her book. Photo: Nanaka Adachi
