I FOUND IT!!!! It being video from Chris Burden’s Beam Drop in Antwerp from May of this year.

Can you imagine having been there? I don’t understand what they are saying, but the anticipation and excitement in their voices is obvious.  To watch something, so large and aggressive, be made just yards away, sigh.  It’s a long video, but absolutely hypnotic.

You know what is fun that I hadn’t thought of how noise would play into this, but listening to the groaning of the crane, monotonous but loud and present.  Then intermittently dispersed are the sharp metallic sounds of the beams!! My senses are assaulted and I like it.

Mesmerising. They speak Dutch; they mostly talk about how the beams fall equally fast as they have an equal mass. Most entertaining remakt was “How romantic” which I’m not sure was about the piece, but I surely hope it was, it should be.
