The installation:

A projection screen: connected and cabled to the editing room , 100 yards away from the exhibition space.
A couch.

An office time-table

5 empty shelves.

A cart.

A hanger with a white and red jacket.

In the pocket of the jacket are three stones: one meteorite,  one mixed of lava and meteorite after the crash of the meteorite meeting the earth, and one meteorite sculpted by human hand into a marble.

White stones from Veules-les-Roses (France, Normandy)

The sky was crazy
I didn’t know it could happen again
Holes were pumping worms.

The sky was crazy
I didn’t know it could happen again
Holes were pumping worms.

The sky was crazy
I didn’t know it could happen again
Holes were pumping worms (…)
