A mixed media piece consisting of multiple projections, the work hints at these geographic anomalies and seeks to place viewers literally inside one of these twelve vortices. Together they form the vertices of an icosahedron. The vortices are distributed equidistant around the globe with five located on a latitude near the Tropic of Capricorn, five near the Tropic of Cancer, and one each at either of the Poles. Believed to be sites plagued by magnetic anomalies and other unexplained phenomena, the 12 vile vortices roughly correlate to the shape of triangles (the most famous being the Bermuda Triangle and the Dragon’s Triangle (Devil’s Sea)). Sanderson in his 1972 article “The Twelve Devil’s Graveyards Around the World”, this recent work documents an imagined rift in the landscape where time and space fold in upon themselves. Inspired by the 12 vile vortices as coined by Ivan T.
