Preparatory Sketch, 2011. © Locus+ Archive/the artist
Schipper’s work provides an alternative way of experiencing the world by slowing down physical events to almost imperceptible movement. This slow motion car crash sculpture is actually moving at a speed of 7mm per hour in a choreographed collision. The spectacular moment of the car crash is rendered safe and almost static. With a dramatic inevitability that reflects our own mortality, over the course of the Festival month, the car is eventually destroyed.
Co-commissioned by Locus+ and AV Festival. UK Premiere.
