excavations II: squatlantis
(2023)
(2023)
An accidental adaptation of Pierre Benoit's 1919 novel L'Atlantida staged in an abandoned film set in West Bengal, Squatlantis is a post-ironic mash of visual documentation and repurposing of past cultural artefacts. Surely there's some sort of a commentary here... something along the lines of lost utopias, new age crises, nostalgia culture, death of cinema et cetera.
