Passenger
︎Post-apocalyptic experimental video 16’36, silent
2024
What to expect from the end of the world? 'Passenger' is a hypnotic video loop in which the viewer embarks on an exploration of a familiar story, rooted in our collective memory.
A lone traveler roams through deserted cities and dried-out landscapes. Hostile beaches and abandoned places drift past. Parasitic palm trees thrive on piled-up wreckage. No other being is in sight, this is the journey of the last survivor. Movement seems to be the only goal, and in these restless routes, the path transforms into a trance-like thicket. At times, a force takes over, casting surreal hues over the entire scenery, causing the traveler to pause.
The viewer drifts passively along, unable to steer and bearing witness to the unfolding decay.
