Language plays a preeminent role in all the conceptual work of Yann Sérandour (b. 1974). Using publications, prints and books, he deconstructs the work of fellow artists and the art world itself. Sérandour thoughtfully wanders through others' work like a modern historian.
With Perfect Lovers (2008) Sérandour revisited a work by [Felix Gonzales-Torres, Untitled (Perfect Lovers)(1995)].(http://artforbreakfast.org/2013/01/05/felix-gonzales-torres-untitled-perfect-lovers/) He replaced a photographic reproduction with two working clocks. The two identical timepieces start by running at the same speed, but gradually a shift in time occurs. The time zones become asynchronous.
