‘Surface tension’ is an immersive light projection depicting the effervescent churn found below a waterfall (on Menang Country in South-Western Australia.)
Froth and fizz born of the falls is recast on the walls as turbulence-born ink scribing the stream’s eddies and flows, tracing the movement of running water — water drawn forth by gravity but impeded and distorted by an immovable but slow-wearing Earth.
These submersive traceries make legible the transcendental sensation of running water moving over our bodies.
