Synopsis
Iconic apocalyptic sci-fi monologues merge into a single speech made by an Alien-Lizard President. AvP intercuts this fantasy monologue with found footage of environmental catastophe, apocalyptia gameplay, and original footage of derelict landscapes and spaces.
Critiques
- I feel immediately I'm constructing artifice and removing myself from reality, in a safe predictable, 'conceptual', sci-fi space. It's so removed from the real it fails to deal with socio-cultural matter.
- This project puts me in a strait-jacket of artifice and performativity. I'm really faking it, in a way that I find uninteresting. Life is not a masquerade. There's subterrain beneath the superficial surface of appearances, representations. How to go beyond representation in a visual medium? How to get to actuality?
