Krypton Is Doomed (2005)

This work is derived from one of Jacobs Nervous Magic Lantern performances which are created with a handmanipulated projector and use neither film nor video Highly stroboscopic and hallucinatory these kinetic performances result in otherworldly spaces and plays of nearabstraction and suggestive imagery In Krypton is Doomed the audio accompaniment to the shifting visuals is an installment of a Superman radio play the first ever broadcast in 1940 This work highlights Jacobs relentless experimentation with the very fabric of projected light
