ONCE UPON A TIME, THE DEMONIC POŁUDNICA HAUNTED FIELD WORKERS AT NOON, TEMPTING THEM TO ENGAGE IN DECEPTIVE DIALOGUE. THIS LEGENDARY FIGURE BORROWED FROM SLAVIC FOLKLORE POSES A METAPHOR FOR OUR CONTEMPORARY ANXIETIES RELATED TO ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL UNEASE. THE COMBINATION OF TEXT, INSTALLATION ELEMENTS, VIDEO, AND DIGITAL DOUBLING CREATES A SETTING THAT IS AT ONCE ARCHAIC AND FUTURISTIC. DURING THIS PIECE, A HYBRID NARRATIVE UNFOLDS THAT SEAMLESSLY BLURS PRESUMED POLARITIES, SUCH AS SUBJECT—ENVIRONMENT, NATURE—TECHNOLOGY, REAL—VIRTUAL.
