At a set time, twice a day, the hands of these clock mechanisms come together and align to form a sentence, delivering the following message: “Every 12 hours in Africa, over 2000 people die from AIDS because they have no access to care.” In Africa, more than 1600000 million people die from AIDS each year because they don’t have access to treatment. The association Solidarite Sida (AIDS Solidarity) wants to alert Europeans to the necessity of acting quickly against this situation. We created an outdoor installation of 2m x 2m, in association with the artist Nadine Grenier, composed of 321 clock mechanisms. The bottom of the installation carries the call to action, explaining where people can get more information about the foundation and donate online: “Every minute counts. www.solidarite-sida.org”.
