explosive snaps sit on a shelf high on the gallery wall. rotating arms push the snaps back and forth until they fall and explode on the ground below. it is unpredictable and random. the resulting bang sound resonates through the gallery and beyond. I have written further about this work in the ‘commonality‘ zine.
