'Life in the Generation Ship' (360° Screening), nordische Filmtage, Luebeck
November 5 – November 9, 2025

The 360° installation depicts five capsules of a futuristic spaceship in which people of different generations leave Earth and embark on a journey to unknown galaxies. Drawing inspiration from the ten Sefirot of Kabbalah—the forces through which the divine reveals itself in the world—the capsules represent five spheres: bridge, heritage, agriculture, public space, and recycling. Within the immersive space of the InfinityDome, reality and fiction merge, and the audience is invited to experience life on board. Using Yael Bartana's method of pre-enactment, which interweaves fact and fiction, prophecy and history, each capsule represents a facet of an imaginary society and encourages reflection on old and new narratives. The journey into space becomes a metaphor for the search for new social possibilities. The InfinityDome's dome is not merely a projection surface but also deliberately alludes to the symbolic significance of domes in places of worship.
