If Not Now, When? (2008) – James Yates

Viewers are invited to step inside a glitterbox, grab two handfuls of glitter, and throw the glitter into the air. The word NOW will appear, illuminated in the cloud of glitter, and then disintegrate into darkness as the glitter falls to earth. Above is a photo of the second test of this piece (Photographs by Beryl Solla, above, and by Stacey Evans, below).
