Project supporting the creation “Après”

In a “totally packaged” world, where industries have taken advantage of the global health crisis to bring back plastic in force, Chloé Riviera imagines an “after” (après) where people, driven by fear of contact, would themselves be protected. The increasing pollution will impact nature: flowers could become valuable, rare, or fake and quantitative.  

Like a post-apocalyptic vision, Chloé Riviera evokes a dreamlike future inspired by the iconography of 1960s and ’70s science-fiction cinema. In hindsight, these retro-futuristic films were predicting our present and certainly, our future. The artist thus questions awareness of the problem of the “after”, which we can already answer through fiction.
