Longer Day

Longer Day1997


Paul Ramírez Jonas’ Longer Day (1997) is an attempt to make a summer day longer as he drives west into the sunset, racing against the dying light. In Michael Stanley’s words, a “sense of futile endeavour pervades the work and an almost perverse celebration of ‘failure’, as the unwritten history of technological progression provides a platform for the discussion of much broader concerns such as time, memory and loss.”
