Escape Vehicle no.7

2 channel video, 7min + 1min loop 2005

A two-channel video-work presented on two stacked cube monitors.

The piece presents one failed attempt and one successful attempt to send a surrogate of myself into the ozone hole above Antarctica. Made with the collaboration of the meteorologist from Halley Research Station on Antarctica, the piece was created by attaching my standard issue orange boiler-suit beneath one of the station’s meteorological balloons and filming the result.
