Utopia 16000 is a mixed media site specific installation and performance activation, which explores post-industrial waste, apocalyptic “trash” landscape and utopian future, in which time and geography loose all relevancy. The work is designed to decay via natural elements over the duration of the exhibition, with an aim to discard and recycle, occasionally activated by a protagonist, who performs Sisyphean tasks in this “homeland”, awaiting a better tomorrow.
