Horizon is a research project built around the question of what remains after the end.
We live in a post-everything era, and in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the physical presence of another human body could become a life-threatening situation, we have moved even further away from experiencing the Real.
Separated from materiality, we have increasingly accepted a life governed by digital reflections of so-called reality. To some extent, we have begun policing one another. In the pursuit of higher standards of living, we inhabit a time of conformity and homogenization, where only the variables of the equation seem to change.
Locked inside a tower, we are able to observe an ever-expanding field around us while remaining physically safe. We are not innocent, and at the same time reality itself has acquired a cinematic quality—appearing increasingly mediated, staged, and unreal.
