Out of the Abyss

Vimeo

Weaving imagery from modern consumerism with symbols and narratives associated with the Apocalypse, Out of the Abyss is an immersive video installation created with CGI animation. Visually extravagant, the work re-imagines elements such as the seven-eyed lamb and the four horsemen as terrifying beasts of the present day, adorned with security cameras, riot gear, and consumer electronics. The work suggests an unsustainable and fraught relationship between technology and materialism, and the natural world. Out of the Abyss can be exhibited as a single channel or a 3-channel installation.
