Overview

“Colapso” is an installation consisting of a globe 10 meters in diameter placed at the center of a cube-shaped structure. The piece was exhibited at the Teatro Arriaga Square in Bilbao, Spain. Throughout the four days of exhibition, visitors could watch the globe grow in size slowly and progressively.

Goals

Eventually, the mounting pressure within the globe caused its surface to explode, revealing for a fleeting instant a huge and perfect sphere of red smoke. The moment was recorded in video at 1000 photograms per second. This sudden conclusion refers to a hypothetical point of no return in the relation between humanity and the Earth.
