The Day after Tomorrow

Technological advancement has long been aligned with ideas of human progress and wellbeing. It enhances daily life, connects the world, and reshapes the ways we understand ourselves. Yet in an age defined by global interdependence and technological reliance, these seemingly stable systems also harbour irreversible risk. When they fail, the consequences are collective.

After Tomorrow presents fractured and destabilised images of a nuclear disaster site. The visual field appears to disintegrate: architecture, devices, and even human presence dissolve into noise and residue. Technology no longer functions solely as a means of documentation; it becomes implicated in the catastrophe itself.

As memory, perception, and identity are increasingly mediated by technological systems, the collapse of those systems unsettles the foundations of subjectivity. The work points not only to material devastation, but also to the disintegration of the structures through which the self is formed. Suspended between progress and destruction, technology here emerges as both a condition of wellbeing and a generator of risk­ constructing the world while simultaneously reshaping, and potentially undoing, who we are.
