About / A device points to a green plastic surface, a planet or a cell-culture dish, to render visible its content for the viewer. Inside the ocular lens we see living activities staging a survival scenario where humans are left with nothing but each other. The installation reflects on possible futures and the nested hierarchy of looking at them.
