Vivarium

When Kris Verdonck meets the texts of the famous futurist novelist J.G. Ballard, the result is nine boxes to look at as miniature dystopias, projections of a future to be feared, for the Western middle classes. Together, Isos forms a 3D short film, with living, virtual sculptures inside each box. An installation not to be missed.
