Camp Fire
September 2019 to April 2021
Jonathan Schippers’ installation, Camp Fire, of slowly colliding and crushing vehicles, is a visceral exploration of intimacy, closeness, and the breaking point of all things. The central winch mimics the Big Crunch, a view that the universe stops expanding and begins a contraction inevitably destroying our temporary world and rebuilding the beginnings of time.
Funding for Camp Fire was provided by the New York State Council on the Arts.
