Time Bomb tells the story of a young girl’s experience at a Baptist retreat where a game called ‘time bomb’ becomes the measure of her desire to accept Jesus into her life. This piece explores memory, the power of crowds, rituals of conversion and the isolation of the child lost in the world of adults. Fear and family values motivate action and create an arena for coercion and the possibility for self-assertion. Visually, Time Bomb proceeds through a sequence of images that figure the “light” of memory as simultaneously revelatory and obscuring, constructive and destructive.
