Using sound, projectors and stabilized original footage of turtle and fish eyes, a set of 6-foot high monstrous eyeballs float in the darkness beneath the 12th Street Bridge. The projections are accompanied by an original soundtrack composed of natural creek-area sounds mixed with other sounds of undetermined, more industrial origins. Inspired by the creek and its creatures, the sound echoes ominously under the bridge as the vigilant eyes move and seem to follow Creek Show visitors as they pass between them, creating a haunting threshold marking the start of Creek Show 2024.
