Other Info: Mercury Moon investigates the tension between regimented order and organic growth. Using certain tropes of science fiction such as a space station, alien landscapes, and a futuristic city, Mercury Moon presents the viewer with a place of magic and imagination. In this world, glittering plants can grow from lunar energy and cities can be reconstructed from ice formations. Mercury Moon is a simulated reality that attempts to call its construct into our awareness. But through its realization it demonstrates its own logic- from growth to destruction, order to unrest. In a sense, this constructed reality is as real as any other, reflecting our attempt to visualize and control our own spaces.
Music: Kimberly Collmer & Peter O'Malley
