Permanent Sunset

LaTurbo Avedon is an avatar artist and curator of the file-based exhibition space Panther Modern. Permanent Sunset – an atmospheric and slowly interchanging series of sunsets documented in video games.

The film begins with an introduction of LaTurbo through a character creation process in a role-playing game and traverses artificial nature, cityscape and space following the transmuting avatar. Whilst drawing breath in quietude they redefine the virtual worlds created for intense and violent gameplays as a place for reflection and contemplation.
