Proposal:

Everyone is Temporary

Lightbox with transparency image and timer. The viewer pushes the button on the timer, which turns on the lightbox. The lightbox flickers, displays the image for a few seconds, and turns off. The box can go inside one of the little holes in the furnace room, or be hung on a wall, with extension cords for the timer.

The image is an overlay of flowers and a blurry moment from a night out during a springtime manic episode. The flickering light box and timed illumination reference how everything in the experience is temporary - the moments themselves, the memory, the manic episode, the people and flowers in the image, the artist, etc. The images were shot on color film, which is a dying medium. The dye-based negatives holding these images are also degrading with time.
