Falling Sideways: Corollary will be a temporary, site-specific installation housed in an abandoned warehouse. The immersive environment uses light and sound to conjure a deep space, sci-fi scenario in which a planet escapes its solar system, and the other planets race to get it back. The Seafoam Palace is an art and science collective based in Detroit, with an international array of artist contributors. Previous chapters of this speculative cosmology have been presented in tunnels and former industrial sites in Berlin, Tunisia, Krakow, Estonia, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Texas among other places.
