This study on paper is the first publicly available drawing by Sebastian Kite, and the only purchasable work directly connected to Sudden Rupture — The Mirror Falls. Conceived as an intimate extension of the respective immersive installation, the drawing functions not as documentation, but as a distilled conceptual anchor: a moment of suspension where tension, reflection, and collapse are held in latent form.
Sudden Rupture — The Mirror Falls unfolds as a meditation on impermanence and presence. At its centre, a mirrored sphere hovers above a shallow pool, reflecting architecture, bodies, and light—composed, charged, and seemingly stable. Without warning, it falls. Water breaks, ripples surge, mist rises, and fractured reflections scatter across the space before a transformed stillness returns. Each fall is singular, disrupting linear time and collapsing memory, sensation, and anticipation into one event.
The drawing captures this threshold state: the instant during rupture, where balance and collapse coexist. It invites confrontation with uncertainty, fragility, and sudden change, while translating the installation’s temporal and performative qualities into a contemplative, static medium.
Working across architecture, light, sound, moving image, sculpture, and performance, Kite consistently places the viewer at the centre of his work. This study on paper offers a rare entry point into that practice: quieter, slower, yet charged with the same underlying tension.
