“perfect lovers” by the gay artist felix gonzalez-torres. the piece is about the illness and death of his HIV-positive partner ross laycock:

For Untitled (Perfect Lovers) (1991), he synchronized two industrial clocks placed side by side. Inevitably, because batteries fail and things tend toward entropy, the clocks would slowly begin to advance at differing rates, out of sync, having moved, however briefly, perfectly together. (x)

“Don’t be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain time in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit where it is due: time. We are synchronized, now and forever. I love you.” (Gonzalez-Torres, 1988)

Mickey always has a far more fatal attraction for Ian beyond anything. When Ian saw Mickey, he was taken！

Moments of high tides,

Moments of pure pleasure,

Moments of reaching the sky that is beyond my limit,

Moments of warmth and lust,

Moments of shared secrets,

Moments of being only us,

Moments of me looking deep into your eyes,

Moments when you show me your vulnerability,

Moments when I exhibit my body for you,

Moments you make me feel beautiful,

Moments when you smile while you kiss my lips softly,

Moments that I feel loved,

Because you exist...

"Perfect Lovers": Origins

What we don't know about one of—actually six of, actually seven of—Félix González-Torres' most iconic works, a pair of clocks ticking in sync, until they don't, could fill several books. But sometimes, little pieces of information appear, in footnotes, in old checklists, and in the comments on instagram posts, and we get a little bit closer.

Félix González-Torres, Untitled (Perfect Lovers)

saw this irl today and almost cried. it makes me emotional to think about the temporal qualities of love, how our bodies are made of time, mechanistic like gears in a clock, and liable to break. we will inevitably fall out of sync with one another and yet… we still love, because in its most pure and ecstatic forms, love delinearizes time. it simultaneously compresses and elongates it, punctures it with many presents.

In 2002, Tobias Wong produced Perfect Lovers (Forever). Identical in all but one aspect, that being Wong's clocks are synchronised with the U.S. Atomic Clock, ensuring they both stay accurate to within one second over a period of a million years. (wiki)

The artistic milieu that Gonzales-Torres entered - New York in the late 80's - was a drastically impoverished one for a thoughtful artist. The waves of innovation that had swept the New York art world since 1945 had subsided, leaving behind a monolithic commercial edifice purpose-built for marketing reactionary to a newly created of class of speculators who demanded, and of course received, a traditional and easily comprehensible art. Oppositional practice mirrored (and perversely supported) the sterility of the market. Feminist artistic discourse devolved from the complexities of Eva Hesse into the simplistic sloganeering of Barbara Kruger. Gay art, in previous decades defined by artists such as Johns, Rauschenberg, and Warhol, was now characterized by a dominant practice of homoerotic pinups.  Gonzalez-Torres refused this (and every other) gay stereotype as repressive and, moreover, as playing directly into the hands of the homophobic ultra-right. Instead he adopted a strategy of détournement, subverting received forms of high culture-Minimalism, Conceptualism, et. al. to his own purposes. Approprating the idiom of the master narrative, Gonzalez-Torres  an art with multiple and often conflicting readings. He mainstreamed the 'gay agenda' or his gay agenda, by addressing both gay and straight audiences with works that were not only personally and politically charged, but were a meditation on the conditions and possibilities of art. The themes of time (as instrument and arbiter of mortality) and of generosity (as an engine to defeat, or forestall mortality) are pervasive in Gonzalez-Torres work. His allusions to mortality are sometimes blandly literal, as in "Untitled" (Perfect Lovers), 1987-1990, two synchronous battery-powered wall clocks placed side by side, marking the passage of time until one or the other falls out of sync, slows, and stops. His portraits invert the received notion of portraiture, 'immortalizing the sitter.' Timelines, installed as friezes, melding significant moments in his subject's lives with dates of contemporary historical events, imbedding them in the passage of time and the corruption of the flesh, an homage of sorts to the best-known unexecuted portrait of the last century, Dorian Gray.

Our love story will never be written in pen. It's not one that many will acknowledge. But it's written where it should be, upon our hearts right where it belongs. It's not a perfect story. There's torn pages. Even some pages are missing. But run your fingers along the spine and feel the strength embedded there. Fell the ease of a love never ending. Our story may not be perfect. It may not even be great but it's ours. And I'd never wanna write another story with anyone else.
