Pacific Vein

A visual journey through an allegorical portrait of contemporary society, presented like a panorama viewed from a tourist vehicle. Among colorful yet unsettling landscapes, we observe scenes filled with symbols of consumerism, media, and celebrity culture that evoke a sense of alienation.

The artist juxtaposes seemingly contradictory images—from meditation to television shows, from wastelands of trash to fitness rituals—creating a satirical portrait of the West. The film brings together numerous references to contemporary social and cultural phenomena, suggesting that everything has become a spectacle designed for consumption.
