The Long Slow Effect of Gravity
The Long Slow Effect of Gravity 04:51, HD video, stereo (2020)
“dancing toe to toe, a meeting place… lightning strikes, burns out the talk… the risk of shark attack… and the knees we fall upon… “ As we age and gravity wears us down, we face the inevitable dissolution of much that we know: our bodies, our social networks, our environment.
