Molten glass in movement. Recorded on Edgertonic High Speed camera; one shot, no edits, unaltered footage
16 minutes

In these 31 videos, each 31 seconds long, the hot glass movement/set-ups mimic daily celestial events, which were going on during the month of August 2017 (such as the Perseids meteor shower, eclipsing stars, the Sagitta constellation). The short videos serve as an abstract record of time, highlighting events that normally happen in a split second. The video is a compilation of Instagram videos.
