Inspired by the location of the NOW gallery in London, near to the Greenwich Meridian marking time, the installation by Emmanuelle Moureaux “Slices of Time” expresses the past, the now and the future through 168,000 small numbers composing 120 “slices” of time.

Composed of 100 layers of numbers in 100 shades of colours and 20 layers of numbers in white, the installation visualises the next 100 years to come (2020 to 2119) and the past 20 years (2000 to 2019) represented in white.and is part of Emmanuelle’s “100 colours” installation series.

Jemima Burrill, Curator at NOW Gallery, said:
“The measured detail, and calm considered order of Moureaux’s work seemed the perfect respite from the political bedlam we are experiencing. This exhibition will include everyone, giving them the opportunity to have a moment to enjoy colour and form in all its simplicity and complexity. Both elements will work together to surprise and saturate, providing a moment to think about a date of significance within colourful order. A contemplative moment for all.”
