Samsara

Taiwanese artist and filmmaker Hsin-Chien Huang has worked on some of the most exciting immersive projects over the last few years, often in collaboration with long-time creative partner Laurie Anderson (To the Moon, Chalkroom). Samsara explores the outer limits of time, space and the myriad forms of life. In a not-too-distant future, the Earth’s environment has been destroyed by humans, its final extinction the result of nuclear conflict. A few surviving species find a new home in space and re-engineer their bodies to evolve into a new spiritual form. The artist touches upon existential themes such as the fluidity of time, reincarnation and the energising power of people’s creative will. Let yourself be carried away in these dream-like existences and dive deep down into the astonishing potential of the human imagination.
