About the Item
This video is an original artwork by McLean Fahnestock. It depicts two planes on black and white film, dropping water to put out wildfires. The artist has replaced the "water" with glitter in this animation. Only three editions of this video are available.
Upon purchase, the collector will receive a USB drive with the video file, a digital backup copy, as well as a 26 x 44 inch TV to display the video on.
Many of the depicted scenes were inspired by moments where Fahnestock was astonished by something that was equal parts mesmerizing and distressing. “Seeing my first wildfire in person, or the images of San Francisco covered in an orange haze, all the while recognizing that these things were in fact terrible. They signified disasters and ecological shifts. The increase in wildfire events is due in part to the encroachment of larger, developed communities onto lands that were previously maintained for fire season by natural means or by the Forest Service, but it is also due in a large part to global climate change and massive drought. Wildfires are not relegated to the western US. They happen across the country and often occur in the Smokey Mountains, just on a smaller scale.”
McLean Fahnestock seeks out footage, images, and items that expand our understanding of place, real and unreal.
