Pernille Spence is an artist based in Scotland and currently lectures in the Time Based Art department at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art.

In I look up … I look down The laws of science are dispelled as a figure is seen floating through the air without ever approaching the ground. The endlessly looping motion of this falling body that is both trapped in space and freed by it, creates the illusion that the artist is able to control time and space, if only for a brief moment.
