Representation of time in art entails a transfer of the individual's time to technical and material aspects that give shape to its sign, affecting the way we relate to time based on quantification. Thus, what does contemporary art attempt to problematize through works involving temporal delays? To this problem, we propose the following: works addressing delays propose temporal extension as a way to relate with time that is opposed to the instant nature of the current technique-real time-, generating an extension that provides a new experience in technical time: slowness. The analysis is approached from the works of Jonathan Schipper (Slow Motion Car Crash, 2012), Douglas Gordon (24 Hour Psycho, 1993), and Dan Graham (Present Continuous Past(s), 1974), where we attempt to halt the unstoppable flow of time.
