The Land of Promise
Video series.
2021 - ongoing.

“The Land of Promise” is a continuing project as well as a series of speculative science fiction. Episodes 1/2 were shot in Frankfurt am Main (2021) and episodes 3 was produced in Vienna (2022).

The episode 4 has been developed through multiple location( Budapest, Linz and Amsterdam) since 2023. Why it took so long? Cause the world has been fucked up too fast, it required more time to look back what is the real fuck on the back. And also I’m already bored in the entrance of the institution, so fix my sleep before you dream, capitalist’s time murder.

The project aims to develop a new method of storytelling and to include various issues of contemporary events as well as digital culture. It responds to the post-global complex and its political/ economical intervention by the act of creating its fictional narrators who illuminates different forms of utopias and dystopias in the diverse cultural context. 

The idea of a future is not only based on the development of technology, but primarily on the vision of a changed culture. And how its cultural identity could be possibly transformed from individual memories and experience (as human or non-human). The image of this future is meant to be fantastic, but also uncanny; which the past, the present and the future have crushed together in its reproduction, the division of generations and the cybernetic alienation.
