This Should Win The Turner Prize



You may remember the huge clock that I've featured on this blog before. It stands in front of the Nippon TV Building in Shiodome (future world) and displays a show on the hour a few times a day. Finally, I managed to catch it. It's not as exciting as the one in Prague, which is really special, but it's quite fun trying to spot where the next thing will happen.

The copper clock, 10 meters high and 18 meters wide, was designed by Miyazaki - THE director of anime movies, including Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Porco Rosso. His reasoning was that, "As time passes, the characters of the animation will be forgotten. Therefore I wanted to make something that will be loved by future generations as well."
