Rapture (silent anthem). 2009
Video, silent, 10'17", loop
At a collective event, a hidden camera in ultra-slow motion reveals ecstatic expressions in the faces of youths. The expressions are reminiscent of the devout passion of religious images, instigating spectators to grasp the nature of the event.
