Unknown Asteroid

2017
video, 4 minutes and 19 seconds

The video is a monologue of an asteroid, which is approaching earth in order to destroy humanity. The asteroid itself is not controlling its own path, but the trajectory is chosen by others, the asteroid elaborates about the End that is, however inevitable, premeditated, and brought about by human action. Ultimately the cause is competition and the inability for unification.
