A Bunch of Floaters

+15 Window Exhibition
A Bunch of Floaters is an installation by Timothy Holt that encapsulates monotonous objects and physical space. Helium, the second lightest known element in the universe, has the lowest boiling point of any gas and is commonly used throughout the world to inflate party balloons. Helium is also a nonrenewable resource and, in addition to other elements, the world’s reserves are about to run out – a shortage that is likely to have far-reaching repercussions. While experts suggest that this material, as well as other nonrenewable resources such as oil, will potentially run out over the next several decades, Holt’s practice opens up discussion on consumerism and our effects on the world today.
