“时间切片”是为意大利奢侈制表商“沛纳海”而设计的一组装置。设计运用透明的空壳材质，模拟制作出了沛纳海品牌的手表特点， 设计由一组单一笔画的数字时标和方形的外壳组成。这组以时间为主题的装置在东京青山旋转画廊展出。

An installation for the Italian luxury watchmaker “PANERAI”. First a design was made of a transparent “empty-shell” like clock that offers condensed characteristics of the PANERAI brand, which consists of hour markers using one-stroke numerals and square-shaped cases. A new installation themed “time” for PANERAI held at Spiral gallery in Aoyama, Tokyo.

设计师利用挤压的操作方式将整个装置延伸至16米。访客可以将长长的空壳时钟，手工切分成一片片的成品钟表带回家。设计师将访客的年龄数字转换为毫米单位，访客可以根据自己的年龄切下不同长度比例的时钟。作品展出于一个圆形的空间内，按照生产过程的不同阶段排列展出，比如“抛光”，“打磨”和“组装”。

The design was then elongated to a 16m length using the extrusion holding process. A clock was then manually made by slicing this “empty-shell clock” piece by piece, turning them into a finished product for the visitors to take home. Clocks of various proportions were created naturally since the “ages” of the visitors were converted into “millimetres”. A circular atelier space was set up for each production stage such as “polishing”, “sandblasting” and “assembling”.

钟表组装的方式，和这些空间咬合排列的方式模拟了真实的手表齿轮。

The gradual formation of the clock while these spaces engaged and interlocked bore a resemblance to a “gearwheel of a watch”.

▼ 展览，exhibition

每过五分钟就有一片钟表从展品中切下来，长而细的“空壳状时钟”随着时间的流逝变的越来越短，随着每一片被切下来，展出也接近尾声。当所有展品被切完，展出就结束了。也就是说，这个空壳长条的时钟就像一个沙漏一样，让人们实实在在的感受时间的存在。时间单位转换成长度单位，再让它一寸寸消失的互动方式就像时间被一点点售卖了出去。访客感受时间的同时，也可以将“自己的时间”带回家。

The clock is created at a pace of one every 5 minutes. The long and narrow “empty-shell like clock” becomes shorter, by being sliced one by one, over the duration of the exhibition, and the installation is complete when it disappears. In other words, the” empty-shell like clock” is an apparatus that enables time to be perceived like an hourglass. By reducing “time” to “length” which is similar to “selling time by measure”, people can experience time, and what is more can “take back their own time”.
