The futuristic fiction of M, a human with a pro-technologic anatomy, connecting with her own body and nature in the synthetic realms of a modern cave, a wellness clinic, into the paradigm of evolution
Arcyria
Mit Borrás’s film Adaptasi Cycle – Arcyria presents the futuristic fiction of M: a human with a pro-technologic body, that lives an alternative present, connecting with her own body and nature in the synthetic realms of a modern cave, a wellness clinic and a spa. Like reveries and simulations of organic animals, two drones fly throughout the spa silently.
Except for the company of a white owl, M lives in isolation in this new cave and cultivates her body and mind daily in a methodical and ceremonial way. She trains her body virtuously, embodying accelerationist fantasies that in a sense resemble new occultism. M hydrates her body and meditates during her push-ups and stretches, mentally escaping towards extinct jungles, ruins, disappeared glaciers, waterfalls and spaces with interesting biodiversity and fertile lands. In a dream-like manner, the film oscillates between states of physical action and mental submersion.
Exemplifying the vision of a new state of human being, in the dawn of modern society’s fantasy of its future existence, the film negotiates how modern society has elevated digitalism, technology and progress into the paradigm of evolution.
