The video installation pod takes us on a slow paced journey through a series of desolate landscapes, accompanied by a lone organism shaped like the ancient deep-sea creature Xenoturbella. Alone and untethered, it is perhaps the last self reflecting subject left in this drowned world. Trying to process the fate of the world and its potential for a future, the silent monologue keeps gravitating towards self-indulgent reflections on personal improvement and authenticity.
