A classic Italian orologio (clock) is broken down in Cattaneo’s surreal timepiece, both as a word and as an object. Split into Oro (gold) and Elogio (hail) she plays on the statement that time is money by taking a simple tool from the furnace that is normally reserved for cradling glass scraps and reimagines the cushion in iron for the base for her time-keeping device. Yet nothing is as it seems: instead of hands glass water drops adorn the clock face, thus threatening to slip away at any second. Rather than numbers the mathematical symbol for DOES NOT EXIST questions the existence of time itself.
