REALITY BONSAI
As a bonsai is a metaphor for Nature itself as a selfcontained
universe controlled by Humans, these images
stand for the city as a “second nature” for humankind.
“Reality Bonsai” is an audio-video computer-aided performance
where I mix 3D landscapes and my original music.
In this work, I aim to tell a story where images of real people and a
fake digital representation of the place where they live are shown;
even nature is an abstraction. Being “escapism” one of the themes
of my present theoretical enquire, I believe that this experiment
would function as a tool to explore visually and auditory what I am
putting down in words.
