Kepler

Kepler was produced in Tbilisi, Georgia, by video artist and film maker George Drivas. Kepler 186f is a distant new found planet that raises expectations for a completely different future, since, according to scientists, its soil, atmosphere and size is similar to earth’s, something that makes him potentially habitable. With the eyes of the artist this is a planet that people could move to when the circumstances in Earth would be unbearable. Kepler is a political thriller of science fiction involving politicians, businessmen, toxic waste and waste management experts. It may be happening here and now or tomorrow in a distant place.
