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.
One example is an image of a girl with slightly unnatural big eyes, referring the investigation on effects of lack of sunlight to human countenances due to polluted air.
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 about this machine I started exploring the truths (and untruths) about Earth's future.
