Jamison Ernest Will Give Away Seven Diamonds Totaling $77,777 in His Bouncing Cars Exhibition in New York City's Meatpacking District November 23 - 30, 2013
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 22, 2013 -- Inspired in part by a deadly car crash Mr. Ernest witnessed fifteen years ago, Bouncing Cars is conceived in seven chapters that represent the stages of human development from infancy, through adolescence and adulthood, to the second childhood of old age. The car – the driving force, the soul – is depicted in a slow-motion trajectory catapulting into mid-air, or jauntily defying gravity, or listing dangerously to one side. This celebration of life not only acknowledges the reality of death, but also humanity’s gift for transformation and evolution: visitors are invited to exit the exhibition through the maze called Purgatory, and reenter the space as ‘a reincarnation of yourself’ armed ‘with a new understanding of our universe.’
Bouncing Cars is no mere art installation. It is artistically compelling and intellectually stimulating to wander a pitch-black maze whose 7 dead ends speak of consciousness and the achievement of personal potential– It’s no accident you’re here. Be honest be sincere. Choice is yours: faith or fear. However, Mr. Ernest elevates this ‘live video game’ pursuit to real-life scavenger hunt: over seven days, seven diamonds each with 177 facets, commissioned for the exhibition from Phantom Luxury Group, will be hidden in the maze. Groups of 7 individuals will be allowed in the maze for 7 minutes at a time.
Says Jamison, "I wanted to give people hope." He has done much more than that: for seven lucky souls leaving the exhibition with gemstones worth $77,777, he’s changing lives.
