clocking

Maps can give different information by it's representation. The reality as it appears, cannot be represented in any kind of map; only certain aspects of interest can be shown. In our Western world, the notion of time became in a certain way ambiguous. The nature of things that have their own time and rhytm, are clashing with the made -up artificial time on which modern city life is based.But those two are not related to eachother, or working together. Instead, they fight against each other, since there is apparently only space for one. In rural areas, man is more directly related to nature and it's time.While urban areas are generally dominated by time represented by numbers and digits. This map tries to show both notions of time, in order to make people in urban areas aware of their use and notion of time that enables the connection with the time of nature.
