Matt McDermott - Gravity’s Law

Based on a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.
'To fall, patiently to trust our heaviness'
Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem ‘Gravity’s Law’, McDermott taps into themes of meditation and nature in a deliberate response to the overload of information in modern society. 
He was drawn to The Barbican Centre and estate because of its otherworldly quality and achieves a sense of calm with his long free-falling shots against the brutalist architecture.
