Fiery Apocalyptic Rain Of Trinkets From Skyscrapers And Heaven by Blue, epoxy resin

May 15th, 2007 10:07 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Drop apocalyptic trinkets from a very tall height. Document the results.

Materials used

One(1) Jar of Pennies
One(1) Fourth Story Apartment

Okay... so I have really mixed feelings about the completion of this task.
As a result this is only a tentative post and I plan to give it another try.

My friend Sarah Rose Kingsly Garcia is in town (you should pester her to join SFØ) and after giving her a tour of the local bars I decided to invoke the Pennies Of Justice.

It seemed somewhat juvenile from the start. But the reality of the situation begin to dawn on us when an elderly woman begin to hunch over and collect the pennies. Having back problems myself made me empathetic and I went downstairs and gave her a dollar.

I think the highpoint was when about five or six people were downstairs collecting pennies yelling "Throw quarters!"

Ah the tenderloin!

There is video and pictures that I am still debating posting.
So I think maybe I will try this again with something a little more fiery and a little less trinkity...
but I still have really mixed feeling about this task and think I am going to have to find something a little more interesting and a little less harmful.

Bouncy balls immediately come to mind, but I could never top the (commercial entity deleted) commercial.

Video

It's really here now!!!

I guess pennies of the apocalypse has a certain ring. But yeah, seems tricky to find something that is not dangerous and not littering. Rose petals wouldn't be very apocalyptic.

No no no...

I am fairly certains a shower of rose petals from the sky is one of the signs of the apocolypse

What about...

Bubbles? Lots and Lots of Bubbles. Like we would get a bunch of friends together, go up on the roof....and shower the TL with a ton o' bubbles......That would make for an interesting day.

My summer subletters somehow managed to spill hundreds of pennies on the floor of my apartment, and upon returning I had a somewhat "apocalyptic" impression of the whole thing.

Please, post the pictures!

Okay...

But most of it is drunk hand held video of me giggling...
Highly embarrassing.

ahhh.. "heartbeats" by jose gonzalez. I've always loved the Knife's original, and I could never download jose's version-- it seems no one has it! I'm happy to see that video.

For me it all depends on whether i am allowed to feel emotionally enchanted by the apocaplypse and in this case, swooned by the music, I was. Pennies on a fundamental level represent money and money will quite possibly be the downfall of us all, so this is certainly a documentation of the begining of the end.
