‘All the time in the world’ is a 22m long electroluminescent wall that marks the entrance to the British Airways Terminal.
It extends the conventional notion of a world clock, which commonly concentrates on capital cities in different time zones, by linking real time to places with exciting and romantic associations. ‘All the Time in the World’ allows passengers to extend their imagination to far distant locations as they enter the Lounges; the great natural wonders of the world, the highest mountains, the most beautiful lakes, the tallest buildings, the longest rivers, ancient cities, museums with untold treasures, dream islands and exotic deserts, thereby subverting the hard function of the traditional world clock into a poetic, fictional tool.
‘All the time in the world’ does not only connect the different capitals of the world, but it also celebrates less apparent places including:
• Natural wonders: Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, Great Barrier Reef
• The highest mountains: Mount Whitney, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Everest, Fuji
• Forgotten wonders: Tenochititlan, Abu Simbel, Taj Mahal, Ankor Wat
• Museums: Guggenheim, Louvre, Hermitage, Mori Museum • Modern wonders: Panama Canal, Eiffel Tower, Sydney Opera House
