SHORT SCI-FI FILM
In 2424, prisons are obsolete and people are part of autonomous and self-designed community complexes, the Home Groups. They receive generous and equally distributed funding from the Over Community. Living from a sense of abundance, people are systematically lifted from poverty and their basic needs are being met. Even with these social structures in place, there is a dissident religious community that calls themselves The Element. They believe that the Over Community hoards resources and discriminates against them.
In this short film we follow the journey of a young woman called Brendalisha from a Home Group as she falls in love with Augy, from The Element. She becomes an agent of his ideology and transforms into a monster.
The film was a part of an installation at the 2424: The Future of Justice exhibition | 12 December 2021 – 30 January 2022 | Nieuw Dakota, NDSM Werf, Amsterdam
