Mothership
2013. video (color, sound), media player, screen or projector, 15 min loop. Edition of 3, 1AP. Music by Evan Samek.
Mothership is a journey through ethereal landscapes, combining ancient myths, speculative futurism, and popular culture. This video installation goes between the subconscious and the hyperreal, where dreamlike imagery intersect with the realities of power dynamics and the pervasive influence of technology. Through sardonic wit and surreal imagery, the work looks at the constructs of authority and opulence while contrasting motifs of grandeur with the banality of consumer culture.
