Upper Atmospheric Lightning

Upper Atmospheric Lightning is a multi-screen installation comprised of 16 monochromatic short videos.

Through symbolic visual imagery, the narratives explore inner worlds and our innate connectivity. The separate visuals play simultaneously to form one chaotic yet collective whole, woven together to craft a haunting and ethereal narrative.
The multiple impressions are produced in collaboration with different videographers on Faith XLVII’s travels: Dane Dodds, Inka Kendzia, Jess X Chen, Zane Meyer and Simone Rademeyer.

The first iteration of Upper Atmospheric Lightning was exhibited at The opening of the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin in 2017 and then at the Cape Town Art Fair in 2018.

Through symbolic visual imagery, the narratives explore emotive and digital codes, questioning our innate connectivity. The separate visuals play simultaneously to form one chaotic yet collective whole, woven together to craft a haunting and ethereal narrative.The merging of the two explorations offers a unique look at the symbiotic relationship between the emotional intimacy of man and the hidden digital soul of the machine.
