one foot on the ground

A still camera was fixed in positioned and captured the movement of people walking past at low shutter speed. The sound is that of a WALK/DON'T WALK signal at traffic lights.
Conceptually the intent has been to suggest a notion of dependence to the ground. The figures get blurrier with every inch above the ground, like trees might decide to fight against their rootedness. Any clarity resides close to the ground.

It brings to mind for me the hungry and the poor of this world, the dispossesed,the tragic monotony of the peoples trying to exist in occupied territories....while constantly under fire.

Thank you Garo,you always help keep me thinking.

I had the sound on loud ... 30 sec nearly gave me a heart attack... I wonder if this would be covered by public liability insurance of the artist?!?
