Anna Beam & Lois MacDonald
The year is 3012. The Human race continues to thrive. Due to over population on Earth, Mars has been terra-formed, and now supports 30% of civilisation. The planets biggest export is Iron Ore. Soap Opera’s still exist. We are only Human, after all.
Anna and Lois present a visual hypothesis of the future of the Soap Opera genre. Over their two week residency they will build, film and edit a pilot for the first Martian Soap, Rugxa Limo. Looking at the way in which Soap’s both reflect and question the ideals of the society they are set within, the work will reappropriate the scripts of iconic scenes from beloved British Soap Opera’s. Finance, Love and Loss. Will the drama’s of the daily grind and human relationships remain the same in 1000 years?
