Planet Overture

Planet Overture

A 2 minute 30 second alarm bell depicting what the world could become. The video represents a symbolic funeral pyre for a bruised and battered papier mache globe that had accompanied activist events facilitated by the Arusha Centre for the past few years. In the video, a hazmat suited individual emerges for this globe, coats the globe in black tar like substance before setting it ablaze. Darkly overtoned, the piece reads like a challenge against a dystopian future. The accompanying soundtrack is a noise art collaboration by darklily.
