Quick-Sand

This is an animated work created using sand. We built our own multi-plane shooting table and adjusted the transmitted and reflected light using a lighting controller. This was done to blend the differences in the texture of the sand expressed by the lighting. Additionally, we utilized the sand's unpredictable nature - how it disappears without notice and reappears when touched - to create accidental images by vibrating the sand around the platform where it was placed. These images included motifs of human conversation, living creatures, life, the afterlife, and the universe. We moved these images through metamorphosis, like a game of word association.
