Song Within a Sacrifice Zone

Abstract
Abstract: In the video installation, Song Within a Sacrifice Zone, Orus documents how words fail to express grief for injustice within the hyperobject of the climate crisis. They achieve this through the use of abstract data self-portraiture and poetic abstraction.
The work is kept intentionally short and will screen three times during the installation’s duration.
