Carried aloft by a weather balloon, a small cooling chamber rises up into the sky above Mount Hollywood. Upon reaching optimal temperature and humidity, a single snow crystal is growing within the chamber and is ultimately released, falling to earth under the sun over Los Angeles. The flight was documented by two high resolution digital film cameras.

a seamless loop

Originally built to protect an object from sudden, unexpected climate changes, as they occur in airfreight transports, loadings in adverse weather and in extreme climatic situations.

All layers have been turned inside out.

Log found, split, gutted, motorized and remote-controlled.

A low current flows through the wire of a broken bulb, slightly heating it up. As people move through the space, the air surrounding them also moves.

Cold air decreases the electric resistance of the wire and so also the voltage. A circuit senses the change of environment and actuates a fan.

Amidst ashes, a couple of these units cover the space. So the dialogue between those present and those who pass by shapes a moving landscape.
