Obadiah Russon is an artist based in Tamaki Makaurau. Her work centres around the spiritual and existential impact of technology and the internet. Ranging from video, imaging making and sculpture, her work uncovers the emotions and subjectivities of these influences on the body and intentions of performance.
Shot in an abandoned building in central Auckland known as Pigeon Palace, this film is a failed attempt at escape and transcendence.
