In Anxious Anticipation

Aaron Tilley (in collaboration with director Kyle Bean) has created the art series 'In Anxious Anticipation'.

His piece  "explore[s] the curious connection between how the mind perceives the world and conveys these reactions in their physical body." (source)

There is also an essay written by Jordan Kushins to go with the series. 

"The story (“In Anxious Anticipation”) revolves around this idea that visuals can invoke feelings of expectation and dread; from the ink droplet dangling precariously over a pressed white shirt, to a row of bricks about to collapse onto a dainty champagne goblet, the images aim to induce an empathetic rush of anticipation. Adrenaline flows from the adrenal glands, a result of stimulation of the autonomic nervous system. Through this magazine issue, the artistic designers wish to titillate the thrill-seekers amongst us and discover the ability of the artificial to induce this dreadful joy within our bodies."  (source)
