She Was Trying to Convince Them That the Overwhelming Awe of the Supernatural Would Override the Fear of Death, But They Wouldn't Agree, 2019MATERIALS
FABRICATED UFO & MOTION-SENSOR LIGHTS

DIMENSIONS
45 x 45 x 45 IN. (UFO)
INSTALLATION VARIABLE
A cheaply crafted flying saucer was set-up and camouflaged in a pitch-black room with the scent of grass and strong air flow. The audience would be free to roam around blindly & the spacecraft would only light up if someone stood right under it, following people with its spotlights. Only when they saw the object lit up would they be able to observe its smaller than perceived size and cheap construction resulting in some form of disillusionment.
