VACUUM AND ITS EFFECT ON YOUR BREATH, 1984. 6 mins.

Video by Robert O’Hearn

'You have reached the bottom, a silent maelstrom.

It is here, thrashing about between the smile and the frown,

That you will build your alchemy:

A destination forged from the black and the white,

And tempered with the haunting of better.

You are the germ within the jar. Feel it.'
