30 avatars in multicolored unitards (latex catsuits) brace their arms and legs to each other and form a human dodecahedron. Each person forms one of the 30 sides of the platonic solid. The platform where the event takes place is a kilometer above the Booville skydiving region.

Booville
8 May 2010

Our most formal work since VB04, a cast of 30 ascends 3.5 km over the Booville skydiving sim and creates a human lattice. Unlike many skydiving configurations, this one exists fully in 3-dimensional space as our bodies merge to create the most sensorily luscious of the five Platonic solids, the dodecahedron. After an hour of crystalline perfection we drop the entire 30-person configuration. We experience 3+ km of freefall, and then (most of) our parachutes open and we land on the Booville runway.
