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.
