Second Sun is an interpretation of our dying times wrapped in film stills and cinematic clichés.

Second Sun is an interpretation of our dying times wrapped in film stills and cinematic clichés. Fictitious scenarios are combined with scientific truths enlarging a confusion on what is real and what is not.

The title 'Second Sun' refers to a fusion energy generator currently being built in China. The core of this machine can create, due to a chemical reaction, temperatures six times as hot as the natural sun. Knowing of this machine I was overwhelmed with a feeling of melancholy. We build machines stronger than nature without thinking of the consequences or effects thereof.
