Ana Hofmann
Hyper Zone is a film set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It explores processes of transformation and reorientation and bespeaks what could be called “the manifold minor apocalypses” of our time of upheaval. Whereas today the planet fears the planetary crisis, the film sets in after the crisis. The old reality lies waste. The four protagonists “create” their new reality. The relationships between humans, mycelia, animals, non-living beings and bots intertwine in a social, abstract and ecstatic experiment.
