THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION SPINS OUT OF CONTROL WHILE WE, INSULATED BY WEALTH, CULTURE AND REMOTENESS, GO ABOUT OUR NORMAL LIVES. WE SEE MORE AND MORE DESTRUCTION, CORRUPTION, UNBELIEVABLE SCENES. CAN WE BELIEVE THE UNBELIEVABLE? DESENSITISED, MUTE, BUT EXPLODING INSIDE. 'I AM EXPLODING' INVITES THE VIEWER TO EXPLORE THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THE MUTENESS OF OBJECTS AND THE MUTENESS OF OURSELVES IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE. THIS INSTALLATION PIECE IS ALSO AN EXTREME MULTIPLIED EXTRAPOLATION OF A NEW LIGHTING PRODUCT BY KORBAN / FLAUBERT CALLED ‘BURSTLIGHT’
