With striking images and meticulous sound work, Emilija Škarnulytė gives us a haunting reflection on the effect of nuclear power. The organic and mechanical are brought together in this meditative and immersive sensorial trip, and from the archaeological perspective of a visitor from the future, we observe the unimaginable power lurking just out of view.

Emilija Škarnulytė (b. Vilnius, Lithuania 1987) is an artist and filmmaker. Working between documentary and the imaginary, Škarnulytė makes films and immersive installations exploring deep time and invisible structures, from the cosmic and geologic to the ecological and political. Her blind grandmother gently touches the weathered statue of a Soviet dictator. Neutrino detectors and particular colliders measure the cosmos with otherworldly architecture.

"The ocean is sound. The ocean is transmission. The ocean is cosmic. How to measure the Ocean and its scale? Using my own body to measure the depths of time and space."
