"Tierra Sin Males" is a spinning, spiraling video piece which moves both with and against expectation or known laws of physics. A large glass globe rolls tensely and meditatively back and forth on a track over a central fulcrum. Embedded within the sphere is an image which looks Attic, Etruscan, but is in fact the reflection of a Border warning sign. As it rolls uphill, catching slightly over the edge, it contorts, distorts, looks primeval or of the future.
The piece is digitally generated. Within the context of a room the object and shadows move, shift. They spin, spiral, hit, spin back faster, hesitate, pivot, continue. The piece is accompanied by a deep reverberating sound track. The sounds are taken from the real world.
The piece hovers in equilibrium-disequilibrium, precarious location, extending questions in a physical and interior world of revolving tension and possibility.
