Twister

Twister acknowledges the often-romantic depiction of the rural landscape in the media. It is a stack of cards that can be taken one by one from the top by visitors to the show. Each card is printed with a consecutive frame from a scene in the movie Twister. The movie’s protagonists have been digitally removed to draw focus to the dialogue happening in the landscape. As the cards are taken and the stack reduced, a tornado slowly destroys a barn and grain bins. The pile and the bins are both simultaneously destroyed but their parts are distributed across the landscape, like ideas. The visitor only gets to see a fraction of the whole story hidden in the stack or already taken by others.
