A room where gravity points sideways: an ordinary living room in which every loose object falls toward the left wall instead of the floor. Liquid pours horizontally from a tipped glass and pools vertically against the wall. The furniture is bolted in place. A person stands braced with feet on the left wall as if it were the ground.

A shadow that moves independently: a person stands perfectly still in an empty white gallery under hard overhead light, but their cast shadow on the floor slowly turns, stretches and walks a few steps away from their feet before pausing and looking back. The person does not move at all. Static locked-off camera

Smoke running backwards: a thin plume of grey smoke retreats downward into an extinguished candle wick, the dispersed cloud at the top gathering and contracting into a tighter thread as it descends, finally drawing itself into the wick which then glows and reignites. Static locked-off camera

Rain frozen in mid-air: thousands of raindrops hang perfectly motionless above a city street, suspended at every height like glass beads on invisible threads. A person walks through them and the drops they push aside drift slowly apart and then hang still again in their new positions. Static locked-off camera

Sand flowing upward through an hourglass: fine sand rises from the lower chamber through the narrow waist and accumulates in the upper bulb, individual grains climbing against gravity in a steady stream, the mound in the top building higher while the bottom empties. The hourglass itself sits still. Static locked-off camera

Reverse-playback footage of a waterfall, played backwards so the motion runs the wrong way: the churning pool at the base draws itself smooth and a rope of water lifts off the surface, travelling up the cliff face and disappearing over the top ledge. Loose spray converges and climbs with it. The surrounding rock, ferns and light stay completely normal and forward-running. Static locked-off camera
