Spacetime Traveller
Berlin, 2006
"Spacetime Traveller" is a study of time, movement
and weightlessness. The video of an athlete doing a somersault on a trampoline
is played forwards and backwards simultaneously, coinciding at just one
point in time, at the cusp of the somersault.
The short moment of weightlessness - the epiphany of the
movement - is the result of years of practice by the athlete and the expenditure
of large amounts of energy. Not unlike man's attempts to eperience the
weightlessness of space.
For the observer past and future combine to allow a fresh
view of time and space.
