Cape Ground

2016 · 27 min

A strange, hypnotic collage that turns a nostalgic desktop image into an unsettling meditation on land and power.

Directed by: Lukas Marxt

Overview: In Cape Ground, Windows 95 desktop landscape is being invaded by rocketing skyscrapers, taken over by the hyper-gentrifying processes, and that familiar comforting green meadow has mutated into a field for mass food production.
