VIDEO: Everything is Ending

All I can say is WOW. Described as “an outdoor graphic intervention,” Everything is Ending is the collaborative art effort of Barcelona-based group 3D Neighbors and artists Javier Jabalera, Pol Trias, and Julia Rosich. Not only was this a clever and intensive project involving ludicrous amounts of meticulous planning and hole-poking, if the implications of the picture above are any indication, it made for a very bold and striking statement on the concepts of mortality, materialism, and the age-old belief that 2012 would be the year of our end.

The real clincher of this piece is how simple the mediums are, and how they come together in such a way that the end product seems to transcend the sum of its parts. A humble perforated canvas and matchsticks suddenly emerges from a phoenix-like eruption into a vivid and tangible reminder that everything we know and hold dear eventually returns to the blank nothing that it started from. It is tragically beautiful and tinged with a harrowing yet sobering reality.

You can watch the full video at the link below. The ending is imminent from the start, but it is spectacular and poignant nonetheless.
