DVD video projection, 2005
 
Cut-and-paste, archive film footage and audio from 1969 of Apollo 11’s Saturn V rocket. The towering Saturn V provided the necessary thrust for astronauts to break free from Earth’s gravity. In this video multiple camera angles of the split-second before lift-off are subtly edited and looped to extend the moment indefinately. The seductive imagery and thunderous soundtrack build in speed and intensity to create an unsettling video installation in which the Saturn V is confined to Earth.
