This video was shot entirely with a credit-card sized,
lo-rez digital camera. It is a loose sequel to "Airports for Lights,
Shadows, and Particles" (1995). For as long as I can remember, I have
been transfixed by objects in the sky. This obsession manifests itself in
equal parts as fear and fascination. UFO's, military aircraft, shooting
stars, commercial airliners. clouds, balloons, rockets and missiles - these
objects occupy my dreams and waking life. Their presence (real and imagined)
instills a feeling that is very difficult to describe - totally irrational,
utterly thrilling, and morbidly ominous. This video is an attempt to manifest
and share some of these sensations.
