The Body Of Light
Single-channel Video & Installation

This is the foundation of The Omen Project. Following the 'Trinity' nuclear test at the Alamogordo test range in New Mexico J Robert Oppenheimer remarked on this momentous occasion quoting the Bhagavad-Gita saying, "I have become death, destroyer of worlds" and the world would never be the same again as humanity gained the power to destroy the world. The Body Of Light is the alpha and the omega of The Omen Project. Trinity and all the following explosions being signals pooring forth from the Earth to the rest of the Universe - 'Warning, here there be Dragons.' Hiroshima and Nagasaki releasing thousands of screams reverberating across the darkness of space, filling the void with its horror. So apropriate then that the first reports of Aliens and UFOs was at Roswell, New Mexico where the first Nuclear arsenal was warehoused. Equaly appropriate that the Japenese creat a monster, Godzilla, to represent this madness.
