Description

An opal mine in the Australian desert might be a future set for a science fiction film. An essay on reality, authenticity, representation and imitation of a world where all these concepts get swapped around and changed on a daily basis. A heterogeneous journey through time that draws together spaces and makes connections between mythology, history, art and trade. (DV)
