Retreat (I know I can't win)

 

Retreat was conceived as a portrayal of a person's mental state being caught in the downward spiral of heavy depression. The architecture hints towards an enormous underground nuclear shelter that seems to have grown haphazardly rather than well planned. From the same computer model an installation was made consisting of a 3d printed sculpture and a single channel video film approximately 7 minutes long that takes the viewer from the deepest point in the building up to the surface while showing some of its interiors, abandoned spaces. I also composed the music for the film using samples or opera singers. For an impression of the video please click  this link

 

The sculpture is made of polyamide and is approximately 35/35/65 cm. large.
