夜深人静，万籁俱寂。从不停歇的只有时间，以及映射着时间流动的钟表。放入坠入永眠的都市，成群的鱼儿在街头巷尾穿梭游动。整点时分，带有报点功能的钟表开始聒噪起来。夜即将走到尽头，被浸泡在海洋中的城市得以重见光明。收拾得体的男子穿戴整齐，背着筐走到阳光下。被海水浸泡过的城市折射出别样的魅力，男人四处游走，寻找着那些被遗落在角落里的钟表。城市空无一人，静得让人心慌。这时候，男人突然听到附近玩具店传来的响动，他走了进去，在不起眼的角落里见到了拿着玩具闹钟的小女孩，不过他似乎对此并不感兴趣。 　　不知不觉中，潮汐悄然而至，城市即将再度安眠于海水之下……

A new joint acquisition by the Met and SFMOMA, William Kentridge's five-channel video installation The Refusal of Time (2012) is a thirty-minute meditation on time and space, the complex legacies of colonialism and industry, and the artist's own intellectual life. Kentridge was born in 1955 in Johannesburg, where he still lives and works. After drama school, Kentridge was active in theater and television production in the 1970s and 1980s. By the 1990s—coinciding with the abolishment of apartheid in South Africa—Kentridge's live theater work and the stop-motion animated films he developed from charcoal drawings found an increasingly international audience. 　　Kentridge's recent interest in the nature of time was given focus through the work of Peter Galison, a Harvard-based historian of science. Galison studied a 1905 paper on relativity in which Albert Einstein hypothesized that, due to the delay in signals relayed via telegraph wire, peripheral railway stations synchronized on a centralized clock were forever fated to operate seconds behind schedule. Einstein's nascent theories about the relativity of time converged with French mathematician Henri Poincaré's development, as president of the Bureau des Longitudes, of global time zone maps at the dawn of the twentieth century. Both scientists faced the radical idea, in a newly industrialized and interconnected world, that time is not absolute but relative and resistant to control. 　　At the center of the installation is a moving sculpture—the "breathing machine" or "elephant"—an organ-like automaton with a pumping bellows. Plans from the 1870s for copper pneumatic tubes under the streets of Paris that would pump regular bursts of air to calibrate the city's clocks reminded Kentridge of a passage from Charles Dickens's novel Hard Times (1854). Dickens describes a factory machine moving "monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness"—a metaphor for the often convulsive developments in science and industry during the modern era and a reminder of the vain impulse to control time.
