‘Post Apocalypse’ is the final show at
Rancho Notorious for this year and who better to create it than Just Another Artists
Kaitlin Beckett and
Aramas! We are super excited to see what the girls bring to this organic space!
‘Post Apocalypse’ is a journey into the post apocalypse of an
alternate area… an anachronistic projection to a post human
destruction.
“What would have happened if the human world suddenly ended in
the 30′s? How would the world look now, would anything survive? Post
Apocalypse is an exploration of that question. Humans are gone,
destroyed by nuclear or biological hubris. The world that’s left is
smoky and ruinous. This is an alternate future containing creatures
evolving into a stylised world suddenly found empty. A story of
survival, hyper evolution, mutation, glorious gas masks and deco punk
themes.”
KAITLIN
Mechanical walkers driven by masked creatures walk under a glowing sky,
jars are lined up to collect precious liquids and overlapping armour
plates wrap around smoking viscera. The poisonous air has necessitated
quick adaptations.
ARAMAS
In a world suddenly devoid of human, animals have undergone a hyper
evolution. Forced to adapt to a ruined world. The results are animals
new to consciousness, struggling to make sense of this strange world,
the history that created it, and the future they now have to deal with.
There’s new religion, old animosities, and a very human sense of
curiosity and confusion. I see the bears of this world as the
alternative to humans. Inheriting a past that they’re trying to
understand, with some very strange results.
Opening on Thursday 27th October from 6-9pm at 361 Lt Lonsdale St, Melbourne (Entry via Heape Crt) See you there!
