Everything Looks Beautiful in Slow Motion by Nic Sandiland. A photo of a street with a man walking past a bus stop. In the shop window is an electronic sign that reads "EVERYTHING LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN SLOW MOTION."

Everything Looks Beautiful in Slow Motion was a public intervention that took short five second videos of pedestrians as they passed by the front of a screen, replaying the clips in slow motion and black and white with an accompanying ambient soundtrack. These effects are standard techniques employed by the mainstream film industry to emphasise key moments in narrative cinema.
