Sonic Boom
2018
WASHINGTON D.C.
DURATION 27: 21
In Sonic Boom, Pinder initiated a spiritual journey that ended up in the very location where it began. This exercise in futility proves to be a rite of passage, as he tests the threshold of a vintage “muscle car.” Accompanied by a local brass band, fanfare and ritual gives way, as the sound of the car engine echoes against the walls of the old Walter Reed Veterans Hospital in Washington, DC. Pinder accelerates the vehicle to the limit, and spectators watch as flames threaten to end the work prematurely.
