Moyra Davey's video My Necropolis pairs footage of cemeteries in Paris with attempts at interpreting an enigmatic line from a letter that Walter Benjamin wrote to his friend Gershom Scholem in 1931. Benjamin, living in very difficult financial circumstances, mentions a clock outside his window which increasingly becomes a luxury that “it [was] difficult to do without.”
