Contained Lightning

Contained Lightning

Location: Massachusetts Convention & Exhibition Center, South Boston, MA

Installation views, January 2014

For this public art commission, I filmed electrical streams from Tesla coils and the Van de Graaff generator at the Museum of Science, Boston. I slowed and layered them, so the lightning-like electrostatic discharges appear to be shooting through, and trapped within, the marquee's borders.
