Description

Tranquility Falls, is a floor-to-ceiling projection of what appears to be a synthetic waterfall and a cascade of phrases that describes various features of self-help culture. The words start slowly, earnestly and meditatively. Accelerating to an annoying crescendo, in three short minutes they leave viewers with a snide sense of being superior to such well-meaning illusions. David Pagel, Los Angeles Times
