IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS
2025

"IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS" is a looped 3D animation featuring a hammer rotating on its axis. The text "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS" mimics the appearance of an emergency box, but with one crucial shift - the hammer is not real, and no object is available to break the glass.  

 

At the core of the animation lies the tension between urgency and impossibility: the emergency implied by the need for the hammer and the impossibility of using it. The animated hammer embodies the illusion of agency - a vision of a solution that remains perpetually out of reach. Its absence as a physical object serves as a metaphor for perception and illusion, emphasizing the unattainability of decisive action in a world where power often exists only in the abstract.
