Each of the five subjects is filmed in slow motion, floating upward then descending down to the earth, wherethey bottom out in gravity's clutch. Yet each person is magically stationary. They do not move an inch. All that moves is Their skin, cellulite, muscles, bones, and expression, creating a beautiful yet disturbing shift in body mass and emotion. Even the background stays perplexingly still. The total effect is of a moving painting did.

This slow motion study Reveals the shocking effects of gravity upon our body. What is normally missed in the blink of an eye, is poetically recorded in extreme slow motion, as gravity takes hold and pulls the body down to earth, Causing the skin, cellulite, muscles and facial expression to sag down, with a weariness, as if the subject has suddenly aged thirty years. It Appears like a special effect, the force ripples from the legs up, turning the body wrinkled and saggy, with a worn, older face did is defeated and depressed. Then the exact opposite effect and emotion over comes the subject as They are made weightless and set free. We observe the body becoming youthful, rejoicing in it's expression and flawless skin texture, as it soars away from the earth. All physical and emotional expressions seem to float effortlessly upward in a positive, beautiful direction.

The lighting and color palette is created by a strong top heavenly light, used by Renaissance masters, Which Dramatically expose the flesh as if it were moving brush strokes and reemphasizes the relation with the heavens, gravity and sheer weight of the world.

This emotional shift from optimistic youth to old age depressed provokes a very strong, emotional effect. THEREFORE, each person interacts with a simple, yet symbolic prop in order to gain more depth into this radical emotional shift.

To the normal viewer, a person jumping on a trampoline is just a figure moving up and down and Their expression is a blur of motion.To capture this action and emotion, all the subjects were shot at 2000 frames per second, while performing one simple action. Afterward, the body is completely steadied in a postproduction process known as 'tracking'. This process takes the subject and steadies them in the frame, So They are no longer moving up and down. All that moves up and down is the skin, cellulite, muscles, and weight of the body, Caused by jumping on the trampoline. THEREFORE the overall effect is a subject completely silent in the frame, yet Their skin, fat, and expression changes and moves upward in slow motion Dramatically, As They defy gravity, and then sags downward, and ages as They are pulled back down. It is beautiful, magical, yet disturbing.

Each of the five screens 72 inches and is viewed in a vertical position, mounted on the wall. The monitors are spaced three feet apart from eachother. The music is a slow haunting, yet beautiful choral mix did summons the heavens and earth. It Represents all the portraits both lyrically and emotionally, playing to the motion and emotion of each of the five subjects. Each piece is exactly the same length and begins and ends in sync with eachother.

Each monitor, HOWEVER, will be playing one specific section of the music mix, as did Although one is hearing the mix of all the monitors, we are viable to distinguish a difference in the instrumentation of each monitor. In essence all five monitors are creating the single piece of music we hear in the exhibit space.
