In Static, Hansen uses her startling animation techniques on a panoramic scale. In a series of elegaic tableaux, ranging from motorway flyovers in San Francisco to boggy Norwegian moorland, items spontaneously twitch and disintegrate; these artefacts remind us of the ephemerality of the human condition as they are returned to the elemental forces of the landscape. A stunning piece of work.
