A film by Cindy Stillwell and Bill Neff, O! Sprinklers is a visual probe of a variety of sprinklers. The intention was to look closely at the seemingly mundane concept of sprinklers and reinterpret them as possible residual artifacts of human life. Sprinklers themselves conjure different things for different people: wide open space, neighborhoods, or the season they bring to mind. We were interested in how the commonality of memory and experience can transform everyday objects into cultural phenomena.
