Inspired by the space-age design and utopian aspirations of the 1970's, Overshadow 1 reimagines an iconic geodesic dome as a planet in a strange eclipse. The illusion created obscures this vision of the future with images of contemporary life shot by the artist's then teenage daughter. The audio score by Nik Beeson samples from an optimistic musical composition of the period. This is gradually buried by contemporary music fragments from the teen's playlists. By simultaneously generating and exposing how the eclipse illusion is created, the video reflects on generations of human experience.
Also available as a looping installation
