Guilty Pleasures

Center for Performance Research, 2013

Astronauts take long quests to discover more about space and its extraterrestrials, yet the quest is needed on Earth as well. What if aliens were just another clone of ourselves? What if our inner desires came out as spirits in Mars, Venus or Jupiter? If these spirits exist in many different planets, perhaps parts of our self live beyond Earth – equally distributed amongst these gigantic stars. Guilty Pleasure delves into the meaning of “extraterrestrial” with videos that represent different aspects of desires, spirits and galaxial stories.
