Grandfather Clock The Son continues Maarten Baas’ performative regression towards childhood. In this work, as he assumes a Peter Pan-like character in an attempt to never grow up. Removing himself from its aging effects, Baas’ character instead dictates time from within the functional timepiece, drawing and re-drawing the hands onto the inside of the clock face every minute. Unlike the traditional brass bodywork of previous Grandfather Clocks in his Real Time series, The Son’s wooden planks are reminiscent of a treehouse, a further signifier of Baas’ playful signature style.
