Surviving The Post Trump Apocalypse

As part of artist Chi Chiu's art design project, I was commissioned to write, produce, direct and shoot a short film to accompany his work. We filmed on location in and around the shingle headland of Dungeness in Kent, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve, as well as the location of a nuclear power station.

With Donald Trump threatening to break the US's commitments to bring climate change under control, artist Chih Chiu confronts the looming environmental crisis with Voyage on the Planet, his self-contained survival kit which recycles the oxygen produced by a single plant. It's a nightmarish vision of a world where the air is no longer fit to breathe. Voyage on the Planet was one of several works shown at Somerset House's exhibition, Space to Breathe, curated by Cape Farewell and Shrinking Space, in partnership with King’s College London’s Environmental Research Group.
