Spheres
(2014)
Levi van Veluw
Video
Spheres is a part of a video series by Levi van Veluw called “The Collapse of Cohesion”. The series was based on drawings. Just like in Spheres, the video presents archive rooms collapsing as they lose the sense of gravity and struggles between the desire for order and the forces of nature. We are witnessing the order turning into chaos.
In the film, the drawing has been replicated life-size in wood scale 1 to 1. All the visible surfaces are covered in carbon powder, and the setting acquires shape only through the reflection of the light. The falling part of the structure is filmed at over 1000 frames per second.
