I placed a poster of a Swiss timepiece in a setting of past glory - an industrial area where progress left quietly decades ago. Rusty silos, crumbling concrete and a demolished 1950s English middle-class car that once symbolised attainable dreams on four wheels. And there, in the middle of this desolate mess, is a life-size advertising poster of a 1930s Swiss high-end watch. Record di precision. The irony almost drips off the wall: precision versus decay, ambition versus demolition. Who hung that there - a nostalgist with a sense of theatre, or an advertising man who got lost in his own timeline? Everything wriggles in the right way. The car slowly sinks further into the dust of time, heading for its final disappearance. Meanwhile, the watch ticks on imperturbably. To what exactly, no one knows anymore.
