"Index" is a collection of works by Christian Marclay, an American musician and multi-artist. Born in California in 1955, he grew up in Switzerland. In the 1970s, he attracted attention for his performances using turntables and records as interactive instruments, and since the 1980s, he has explored the fusion of music and visual art, presenting works that incorporate visual elements related to sound and music, such as records, comics, movies, and photographs. His representative work, "The Clock" (2010), is a 24-hour video work that connects scenes of clocks that appear in movies and television at one-minute intervals and synchronizes them with the real time axis. It has been a hot topic in Japan, and the published book is popular among collectors as a rare book. Marclay is an artist who continues to challenge new artistic expressions that go beyond the field of music (hearing) and incorporate visual elements such as photography and video. This book introduces Marclay's representative works and projects with abundant visuals, allowing you to gain a deep understanding of his creative trajectory, themes, and methods, and at the same time, it is a book that will draw your interest in his unique approach that combines music and visual art. Although it has a simple format, it is a large book of over 1,200 pages.
