Description
“Lovers I” is an excerpt from the Paradise sequence of “Turandot 2070,” AES+F’s newest large-scale multichannel video installation. The masses are a vulnerable and confused society, trained by those in power to tolerate violence. Their public displays of adoration for the princess border on idolatry and mass hallucination. Heading a radical techno-matriarchy, Turandot obscures her true identity by appearing to the masses as one of many avatars, embodying the nature of the propaganda that she is translating to her subjects. Approaching the subject of the original libretto through “social psychoanalysis,” AES+F surface collective fears and desires by referencing contemporary media scandals and polarizing issues like #MeToo, cancel culture, fake news, and others.
