RE@EVOLUTION, journey through space in time

my 50 min film at Liberty-Fosun Plaza in New York, asking us to RE@EVALUATE our life on planet Earth

Is our world in evolution or going through a revolution? Maybe we should be in a state of re@evolution. RE@EVOLUTION, a journey through space and time, my 50 min film projected on the giant LED screen at Liberty-Fosun Plaza in New York last Friday, asks us to RE@EVALUATE our life on planet Earth.

My thanks to all who came and watched my 50-min RE@EVOLUTION film at the Liberty 28 - Fosun Plaza in downtown Manhattan in New York City last Friday, in close vicinity of some of the main world finance institutions, as well as close to the art with Jean Dubuffet's Group of Four Trees and Isamu Noguchi's sculpture garden.

RE@EVOLUTION, my 50-minute film with music by Austrian composer Rupert Huber, featuring my vocals and lyrics adapted for the New York City screening, takes us on an audio-visual journey through space and time, poetically re-examining our human presence and the overwhelming dominance of Homo sapiens on planet Earth.

The film also offers a glimpse into what might have come before and what could lie ahead. It explores not only the possibility of multiverses existing within the universe, but also draws our attention to the many worlds that already exist within the unique world of our own planet.

My film questions:

“How long till the human race escapes? How long will it take? How far can we bend until we break? How long till we let go of our human race? ... How far can we bend until we break, how long till the human race escapes, how long will it take? How long till we let go of our human race?”

“How many more people can Earth sustain; how many more degrees and crops can we maintain? How many more technological advances can the human form forsake; how many more species will we decapitate?”

In the words of Jurij Meden, curator and head of program at the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, Austria: “An extraordinary, incredibly complex, multifaceted, brazenly honest meditation on nothing less than the global condition humaine of today."

I still find it insanely fascinating how Eva Petric brings it all together from a completely intimate, almost Jesus-like perspective of personal responsibility for the state of things, which in the hands of any other artist would sound fake or ironic, but from her mouth it sounds completely genuine. Bravo - well done!”

I am honored and thankful to Dr. Stephanie Buhmann, head of Visual Art, Architecture & Design at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, for her support and introducing my film at its opening event.

Thanks also to ACF NY for the kind support in promoting this event.
