“The video piece…it happens—yet it looks back, right back into itself and it plays out again. The perspective of the camera is that of a pedestrian watching Times Square in all its glittery glory at night, pulsating with life—and seeing a car exploding through the streets as if it’s an illusion, as if it’s happened or maybe not happened.”
