Her gravity-defying work to maintain the rhythm suggests the human effort required to keep our world from collapsing. Exhibited nightly as Times Square prepares for New Year’s Eve, the video may also evoke the perpetual turning of time.About her work, Trine Lise Nedreaas says “I am fascinated by what drives people and how we find purpose, be it through weight-lifting or mapping the universe.
