Greeting from Atlantis, video, 4", 2017
Atlantis was supposed to be a mythical place, where a highly evolved civilization existed. It is not surprising that for many it became synonymous with the ideal. The ideal one wants to achieve.
At the same time, Atlantis was supposed to be a place touched by catastrophe. Drowned. Forgotten.
Greeting from Atlantis tells a story about getting to terms with reality. Someone’s dream came true, but it turned out the dream didn’t mean anything anymore. It was a matter of bad timing. However, there is no despair, just some nostalgia. A body-less voice is just telling its story.
