“Experience Time in a Mesmerizing New Way with Frank Bueltge’s ‘Reflections of Time’”

“Reflections of Time,” a contemporary art piece by Frank Bueltge, is set to mesmerize visitors with its bold and dynamic composition. The artwork features a giant clock engraved deeply into the metallic surface of a sphere, elegantly balanced on a slanted mirror base. The clock’s intricate machinery, visible through the crystal clear glass casing, pulses with life, while its metallic frame reflects its surroundings like a kaleidoscope. The swirling metallic sphere glows with an alluring blue light, creating an illusion that time is simply an element to be molded by the artist’s hand.

Bueltge’s “Reflections of Time” reflects the philosophical concept of the fluidity of time. The artwork challenges viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of time and how it shapes our perception of our world. This concept draws on J. M. E. McTaggart’s “The Unreality of Time,” which argues that time is a subjective illusion, shaped entirely by our perceptions. As such, “Reflections of Time” refreshes our understanding of time by gifting the viewer an immersive experience that encourages us to question how we see the passing of time. The artwork is available for viewing at the Royal Academy of Arts today.

    “Frank Bueltge’s ‘Reflections of Time’ is nothing more than a cheap gimmick, relying on flashy mechanics and shiny surfaces to distract from its lack of substance.”

    “Reflections of Time” is nothing more than a cheap gimmick, relying on the tired trope of a clock to try and create a sense of profundity.
