The Scorched Earth Trilogy is a trio of satirical films inspired by environmental disaster and the lack of serious climate action. The short works tackle some of our most pressing concerns with coruscating humour and wit using a highly original mix of street art, animation, contemporary orchestral music and opera in their search for answers. The films challenge our complacency and provoke both entertaining and uncomfortable responses.
The Scorched Earth Trilogy features projected video and sound installation, experienced through your headphones with the audio transmitted by Isolde, a ground-breaking new mobile app.
