The End Is Nigh is a durational video work shot on a VHS camera, created for the Halloween art and music event Ghost Hole 7. The piece depicts the text "The End Is Nigh" painted on paper and mounted on cardboard, and then sprayed with water until the text washes away and the paper collapses. This is played back in reverse so the text emerges and becomes slowly more visible over the course of the night, until it is clearly readable just before the event closes.
Installation instructions: When installed, it should be timed so that it counts down to the end of an event or the closing of a gallery.
