Extinction Event

2013, vinyl & E6 film, 4800 x 1800 mm. Commissioned by Phoenix Square, Leicester, with support by Castlefield Gallery.

Drawing on an index of 1,900 cinema reel changeovers, this 12-month window installation maps Griffiths' cue-dot catalogue against the imagined spacetime occurrence of gamma-ray bursts. Viewers inspect tiny embedded images using magnifiers, enacting the durational observation and speculation inherent to both astronomy and cinema.
