A multimedia exploration of natural and synthetic beauty. Using a frenetic mix of live video, warped archival material, and an original musical score, this electric performance probes why we continue to create at the end of the world. As we engineer bodies and realities worth inhabiting, :/secondplace magnifies the blurry line between survival and expression.
