Biography
Since the 1960s, Hanne Darboven has focused her art-making on daily "writings" that chronicle existence and evoke the passage of time. The 2,782 typed and hand-written daily writings or drawings that make up Leben, leben/Life, living represent Darboven’s systematic approach to counting the years 1900 to 1999. These drawings make visible two orders of time: the actual time taken to create them and the historical time that they summarize. Darboven asserts the presentness of time by marking its passage in a literal form that also takes up volumetric space when the writings are installed in a large gallery.
