The Turtle King

2018. video (color, sound), media player, screen or projector, 4 min loop.
A strange chimera wanders a vast empty desert. Part turtle, part architecture, its shell contains a movie studio ‘filming’ the scene just witnessed as the whole cycle repeats itself seamlessly, in one eternal zoom. A type of contemporary myth-making, where scale and time are refracted in an otherworldly narrative.
