Studies in Applied Falling / Hammer and Feather (2012)

In another direct experiment with gravity, Agnes Meyer-Brandis' Studies in Applied Falling / Hammer and Feather appears to recreate the famous experiment by David Scott in the airless environment of the Moon, during the Apollo 15 lunar mission in 1971. Brandis sees Scott's experiment as an artistic directive and perfect source material for her particular kind of storytelling, which is interwoven with science, myth and fairy tale.
