Medium:

Explosives bag, black fluid, sound

Artist Statement:

A half tonne explosives bag, strung up and sagging, leaks black fluid, its half dead presence bleeding out onto the floor. A minuscule screen flashes text of warning and outrage, a furious energy reduced to a micro scale easily overlooked. Helen Reddy’s optimistic anthem “I Am Woman” slowed to 50 beats per minute wavers around them, stretched and dragged under. [source: lindadement.com/fifty-bpm.htm]
