“If you think about Felix Gonzalez-Torres... we can look at "Untitled" (Perfect Lovers) from 1991 that pairs two commercially-available clocks and synchronizes their time... The title clearly asks you to consider these clocks to be a metaphor for lovers and how two individuals with hearts beating, like the ticking of clocks, can be in perfect sync and then inevitably fall out of sync. The title further suggests that the lovers remain perfect, even after they've fallen out of sync.”
