Drowning in flames

Drowning in Flames explores a world where reality fractures into glitches. As the virtual overtakes the physical, this alienated landscape reveals a new model of coexistence: isolated, yet anchored by our shared, quiet survival.

The only thing we have is others.

And the houses are trembling

And the car is drifting on a wet road

And we hold our hands

We drink ouiski, waiting for a big fire to burn the parliament, because we want something

to happen that has an unpredictable cause.

And anything is possible

and nothing is done

And the loop is coming

and going

And

Today, I dreamed of a dreamless dream.

It is a notion I have that reality has separated, and life has started to imitate glitches of it.

From Black Rock Alladdin to Gemini 3.0, the virtual landscape has overtaken the physical world, leaving behind an empty coordinate where anything is possible and nothing is happening. Alienation and deconstruction have become a commonality—a feeling that meaning has abandoned the building we used to live in.

In “Drowning in Flames," I try to locate those mishaps, recording a landscape that has departed from us.
