Five single hour markings are placed throughout Buda, transforming the area into a (part of a) large-scale sundial. Each part uses a number that was already present, giving it the additional task of telling (summer) time between March 20th and September 23rd. This work is part of Border Buda and was made possible with the help of Hendrik Hollander.

facade of Diegemstraat 1 in Vilvoorde.
