Description

The title of Truth Through Mass Individuation references Carl Jung. An isolated figure is seen performing successively more aggressive actions - dropping a cymbal among a flock of pigeons, firing a rifle in a deserted city street. In the fourth and final stage, his luminous image, spotlit against the dark night, merges in the distance with a roaring crowd in an outdoor stadium.
