Overview

The video deals with our understanding of the distant future, presented through a concrete example of the 23rd-century archaeology. A narration of a professor archaeologist leads us through the story as he guides his student through one of the main archaeological sites in the City of Catastropolis, where so-called Plastoses, who (will) survived the atomic catastrophe in 2223 live. These half-organic half-mechanical creatures form a comprehensive civilisation of Plastos, which is the author's subject in a series of his installations, performances and videos. The main expressive means of the video is chroma key with well-crafted imaginary backgrounds, designed to the minutest detail in author's studio. The author combines artistically imagined scenography with performance elements and completes it with digital animation. (Source: DIVA)
