Futuresonic

A film in which three different catastrophic weather scenarios are re-enacted with playful precision using household objects and materials such as a mixer, a hairdryer, salt and water to simulate states of emergency caused by climate change.

The scenarios are played out in an aquarium placed on a rotating disk. The glass of the aquarium reflects the room, the camera, tripod and the hands of Eva Meyer-Keller and her helpers, so that the viewer sees both the extreme weather event and its means of production simultaneously. One also recognises the 'behind the scenes' sound e.g. of a hairdryer, albeit filtered so that more space is left for association.
