28 YEARS IN THE IMPLICATE ORDER

Description

28 YEARS IN THE IMPLICATE ORDER
Single channel video loop.
The video consists of a locked off shot of an empty parking lot. A centered sodium vapor light illuminates the night landscape. 28 red balls bounce up and down in a chaotic random order. As the video reaches its mid point, the balls align themselves until they reach the point where they all bounce at the same precise moment and then resume to go back into chaos.
