It’s Not The End of the World

DEC 6 & Ongoing on URHERE

Emerging in the shadow of world conversations and congregations around the pressing urgency of our shared future as humans, “It’s Not The End of the World,” tells an apocalyptic tale of a group of characters and places that exist in a perpetual state of resurrection and perishing. They emerge and die in a decomposing odyssey of transformations, as scenes morph between serene lush ghost towns, landfills, and extractivist neoliberal sites.

Filmed across three continents and over a three year period, the project activates urgent conversations on the term ‘lifeform,’ while deploying choreographic gestures and dark humor Shuffling between fiction, reality, and eerie prophecies, “It’s Not the End of the World” invokes questions of man-made loss of biodiversity, forced displacement, and economic crises, echoing representations of the end of the world as a performative and a visual trope

Research conducted at the British Archives, New York Public Library, and on site at the Red Sea.

It’s Not The End of the World is premiering on URHERE, a one-of-a-kind, rigorously curated virtual platform for outdoor and digital premieres. URHERE aims to occupy an important part of the art ecosystem which nurtures experimentation, sparks dialogue, and creates engagement with the local community.

Funding for URHERE has been provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies as part of the Digital Accelerator for Arts and Culture funding initiative. With their support, and with guidance from Lapine Group, HERE has partnered with design firm Imaginary Places (developers of Decameron Row and PROTOTYPE’s 2021 Modulation) to create the platform concept and design.
