Local Dystopias in the Global Dystopia (2024), Sergey Prokofyev

Three dystopian worlds in one desert: balloon-lifted wooden skyscrapers, a city rising from no man's land, and a digital realm shaped by human emotion. Here, architecture, imagination and reality blur.

Enter an immersive journey through three dystopian worlds in a sprawling desert, where the boundaries between architecture, imagination and reality constantly blur. In High Rise Cult, a forsaken village is populated by wooden replicas of skyscrapers, lifted into the air by balloons. The Doomed City transports us to a city rising from no man’s land, inspired by a painting by Nicholas Roerich. Finally, Phygital Limbo brings us in a mysterious digital environment continuously shaped by synthetic engines responding to human emotions.
